Hey Folks,

Here's a short bit on loading the tail settings for the 3rd. firing of my =
Hobagama wood fired pottery kiln ...

... and click next. The new 3rd. secondary stoke hole ended up an inch or s=
o off so the sticks will be a tricky fit but I think I can get it to take a=
bout a half dozen 16" long skinny sticks at a time. At least the fuel will =
stay up top for a while instead of laying on the floor and the heat scootin=
g out the exit flue... well that's what I hope will happen.
