In Topic: First Firing of My Homemade Raku Kiln
Posted 3 Nov 2012
Can do. The only reason, I moved the burner closer to the aperture, to begin with, was because the temperature plateaued. So my solution was to move the burner closer, and turn up the gas, which apparently, created a reduction atmosphere.
The next time I fire, I will keep the burner further back, and increase the temperature more slowly.
-------------------------------
If there is any difficulty in moving the burner back, another method to increase secondary air is to place a small fan behind the burner, if that is possible. Not too close, as you don't want any dust to blow into the kiln and onto the glazes.
Cheers. Graeme.
