This sweet wood soda kiln was constructed from a gutted gas kiln. This was a very moody, fussy giant that needed to be coaxed and persuaded to every degree. It took a painstaking 28 hours to get this kiln to temperature, a cone 11 flat which is approximately 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. The results couldn't have been more beautiful and if you have ever fired wood soda you know what I mean. Rich orange flashing, juicy blobs of suspended dolomite glaze, luscious orange peely shinos. It was worth very moment.

How long does it take to bake a wholemeal granary loaf in there?
Oh, I dunno, about 3 seconds.
That is if you like your loaves dark and crunchy.
