How do I care for my kiln?

Description 1

Common in pottery is the term ‘oxidation', which is the method of firing a kiln in a manner that mixes oxygen with the fuel to produce a clean flame with no soot or smoke and complete combustion. The atmosphere within the kiln contains sufficient oxygen to allow the elements in the clay and glaze to be completely oxidized. This method is primarily attempted using gas kilns.
