Another Pitfiring

This time a proper pit - a real hole in the ground - as well as a barrel. (Photo taken by Dave)
Where do you do do you pit firing and is there a formula (size of hole, amount and type of wood etc) to ensure that the right temperatures are reached? I find it all fascinating.

@merrelyn This is my first experience of a proper, hole in the ground pit so we’ll see tomorrow how well it worked! One of the club members lives in Forrestfield so that’s where we are. The soil is basically clay, so the pit held its shape well, burnt very well and really retained the heat. 🤞🏼🔥
