hey that brought back some memories! the last salt kiln i helped fire was on mick casson’s farm about15 years ago. i think it was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. the physical graft of firing using cut timber and altering the amount of bark to give a good reduction, and then judging that moment to pour in the salt is just indescribable to someone who doesn’t get excited with mud and fire. i’m sorry your kiln didn’t reach the heat you wanted, but the wares look pretty good. everything is worth it for the next climbing of everest/salt fire! wow.
