CroMagnon Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 So I have some little clay beads and small statues I'd like to fire, and while I know I could just pit fire them into bisque, I'm not sure I'd be able to glaze them that way. With just a small iron or steel container (like a gallon metal can or bucket) and some wood to burn, could I make a mini-kilt hot enough to glaze some beads? About 2250 degrees Fahrenheit at tops? What could I do to make it more efficient?

foxy john Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 I would use BBQ charcoal, much cleaner. A fan to blow air through and you are away.
