Smoke Trail Work!




Work has been commencing on the kiln. The front arched firebox grate is finished and so I moved to the back to work on the smoke trail and chimney.
What that meant was more digging! I took a picture of the dugout smoke trail with my trusty shovel where the chimney will be. But I was able to finish the back wall and the smoke trail! When I get the chimney built up I will cover the smoke trail with a big bed of clay.
Now I will take a short break from building as I have to get more bricks and more fireclay.
(and I have to figure out how to build the side loading door into the main design of the kiln. It has me somewhat stumped for now...)
