Kibuta
Kibuta or ki-buta is a process that some people use when firing a wood kiln. It seems to be a great way to build up an ash bed quickly, it's useful for vibrating the kiln (creating fluctuations that add drama to the pots), and it's exciting. So of course it was something I wanted to do. What you do is stuff the front door stoke hole in the kiln with pieces of wood. You want the opening to be filled pretty tightly with wood, this keeps air flow to a minimum. The wood will be burning in the back of this wooden door as your building it.
