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 weโ€™ll see tomorrow how well it worked! One of the club members lives in Forrestfield so thatโ€™s where we are. The soil is basically clay, so the pit held its shape well, burnt very well and really retained the heat. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ”ฅ
