How do I do a reduction firing?

What is a kiln

High-temperature furnace used commercially for drying timber, roasting metal ores, or for making cement, bricks and pottery. Oil- or gas-fired kilns are used to bake ceramics at up to 1,760ºC/3,200ºF; electric kilns do not generally reach such high temperatures.
