Ron and all others who know this clay....
Can I use this for a woodfire??? I can use Standard's Grolleg, but my
supplier was out, so I bought this instead....did I make a mistake?
TIA,
Sandy

Hi Sandy,

It is vitrfied (0.0 absorbency at cone 10) - if you are firing above that -
well - expect some warping with some forms - probably better to keep it out
of direct flame.

Some like some heat induced adjustments to form - and I do with some forms
- just a matter of finding the right way to get it.
