How do I do a Pit firing?

Saggars

If you are not doing a true prehistoric firing, you may use large tin can saggers with "Kingsford" charcoal in them to create a variety of atmospheres. I have had rotten luck getting a good reduction by covering up the fire with sand and dirt. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
