Hi everyone! I'd like to know what kind of pot etc. I can use to place my
pieces after removing them from the Raku kiln? When I went to a Raku firing
recently they used those blue enamel stew pots. Thank's in advance! Annette
Libby.

Annette:
A small steel trash can works well, or galvanized buckets.
Try not to use aluminum. Both galvanized buckets and aluminum can have
"issues" with toxic
things leaching from the coatings when heated, but aluminum also will
not hold up well from the heat.
Stainless is nice, but pricey. If you can find some old stainless
commercial stew pots, they should hold up
many hundreds of firings.

For individual pieces, I use metal paint cans. Also small metal
garbage cans work.
For bigger pieces and more than one piece, I use 30 gallon metal
cans. For big slabs, I put them on top of a bed of straw on the
ground and cover with 24 inch wide metal feed containers.

an old kiln shelf works too. Especially if you are not going to
reduce or use low smoke techniques.
