Dear Kelly,
You reminded me of the potters in Moveros Spain who fire at night
because they can see the color better. They fire in a circular granite
kiln with brush, scrap the ash out three times during the firing and
cover the top. Quite bueatiful ash the embers float up into the night.
Good luck with your kiln.
