The sweet smell of reduction

I got reduction ya'll! Thanks to Kent Harris for a great easy to understand firing schedule and thanks to Jo Lovorn for letting me come out and see her kiln in action, looks like I may have the bugs worked out of this MOFO. The flames look good and I smell pots a cooking. I may be singing a different tune tomorrow, but I think I deserve a good firing after this suck ass week!
See ya!!

Nothing like the smells of a gas kiln in reduction. I can also imagine little wispy blue/green flames. I did a lot of reduction firing in college. But it's been a while for me.

For You: best of luck!! Look forward to seeing your new pots!!

Oh yes, the wispy green flame, had lots of them! I'll be brave this time and post photos good or bad.
