Would that work? Would it be possible to fire a small piece of pottery
(low fire) in your wood stove. The wood stove would function as a test
kiln for a low fire, wood ash glaze (if there is such a thing). I have
never tried it and I wonder if anyone in Cyberville has tried this? Please
let me know what you think of this "crazy idea"... Marshall

I've fired a lot of small clay pots/objects/egyptian paste in the
firebox of my old kitchen wood cookstove. Only limit is size of object.
Works very well with burnished pieces, beautiful black/lighter colour
contrasts because of the uneven firing atmosphere.

I tried firing a small piece of earthenware in the woodstove that I use to
heat my home and I'm not sure if it's completely fired; is there any way to
tell?
It does, however look really neat. There are all sorts of interesting,
smoky swirls that wouldn't scrub off. I'm thinking of trying it as a bisque
firing and then fire it to temp in the kiln; would the swirls and stufff
burn away?
Thanks all,

Marshall,
I use my wood stove as a bisque fire...wrap in tinfoil if I'm not wanting
the added interest of wood ash and carbon to my raku. In the winter it
seems silly to waste the heat...besides the hot pots also hold the heat
during the night. Using propane to raku.
And...thank you Tom Buck for ALL your support helping me get set up. I
still have not ordered the paperclay...but will one day.
HAPPY NEW YEAR and thank you all who have written and I have not yet
gotten back to you. I am blessed to have a "shared studio" without the
extra space it would take to set you all up .
Love,
Rebecca

Jim,
Depending on bisque temp., yes they will for the most part burn
off/out.
