I put CHARCOAL in my kiln (testing my Tenmoku gold)

  • My tenmoku gold has been acting up for quite some time ( because i have an older kiln) an until i get a new kiln i have to learn to work with my glazes. this is a attempt to make it work again with the factor of putting a piece of coal in my kiln . at the end of the experiment I don't believe the cold actually did anything or introducing extra carbon into my atmosphere, but I do believe I have found that the glades body simply needs to either be thicker or have less water.

    The reason why Timsee told you, “Don't put coal in your kiln,” is because it's very bad for the kiln elements.
    Electric elements *do not* like reduction atmospheres! It damages them.
    Just this one time shouldn't cause major damage, but *don't do it again* unless you really want to replace your elements.

    You should try the tenmuko leaf firing! When the glaze is wet you place a green leaf on the surface and fire it! The gold should collect where the leaf is placed.

      True, but its still going to change the oxygen levels in the kiln (just not by as much). Also, its manufactured charcoal and that can have real coal in it along with binders and fillers. (I'm not sure that there is anywhere near enough Carbon to make any difference and using a saggar to trap the gas around the pot would be a better option (plus it would mean you can add more coal to one pot than another

      Chris Parkin charcoal briquettes are 98% plant based but some (cheap no name brands) will mix in a tiny bit (2~3%) of coal into them to make up for the poor quality. Coal leaves a very noticeable taste that sticks to everything you cook over it, so it’s not used in the US for food products in cooking. Plus coal adds a multitude of other gasses to the party, which would change the outcome of the glaze

As to this version being 98% plant-based - looking at the amount of unburnt stuff left, I'd say not in this case.

      coal does add other gases ... this is the original "coal gas" produced by destructive distillation, a toxic mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and lesser amounts of other delightful stuff. but the remaining solid is "coke"; hard and very porous and, like charcoal made by heating wood, mostly carbon. the coking process is completed around 600°C, so i imagine that beyond these temperatures the resulting atmosphere would be quite similar. but if we're voting, i vote charcoal over coal

    Dante, not sure anybody wrote this already, I have not read through the comments...so my advice for getting back the crystals in temmoku gold is to slowing down the cooling at the end of the firing. this will enhance any glaze that is a crystalline glaze (like Temmoku Gold). I fire my Iron reds with 1.5 hours hold at 950 Celsius and T. Gold comes out perfectly or I should say a bit too much crystals. Randy's red will also be red when doing this.
    Big kilns packed tightly cool much slower naturally than small kilns (think of all the mass like the kiln + pots mass, that holds a lot of heat which is given up slowly), especially when that small kiln has old insulation (insulation also gets older and loose insulation properties a bit)
    One last note: you have crystals inside your pots as the inner side of the pottery cools slower than the outside.

  • @markfields8578
    @markfields8578 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Sorry I came into this a little late, but if you want to continue testing reduction firing in your kiln, you could put the piece to be tested and the charcoal into a saggar. It the lid was a tight fit, most of the fumes would stay inside the saggar until the glaze matures and fixed. It might cause it to be a little underfired. I think I would also use hardwood charcoal instead of those briquettes. I'm sure the binder holding the briquettes together will release who knows what into the kiln atmosphere with unpredictable results. Just a thought and probably worth what it cost you! 😉 Cool tests though!!

    What I've noticed in my experiments with Rutile blue glazes is that you get more noticeable blues and effects when it's used on top of any glaze that uses red iron oxide.

    • @marieparkman2932
      @marieparkman2932 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The addition of the iron glaze just increases the amount of iron available to make the blue. Rutile is yellow iron. I notice that oxidation potters don't tend to use oxides. Try just putting straight iron on it instead of another glaze.

    My clay supplier was adamant that I not try reducing with electric elements. Hot fuel-rich gasses can turn it into a flame thrower, it produces a ton of CO2, and it severely shortens the life of the elements. What about tweaking your pit fire bricks into an updraft?

    I'd expect that the charcoal would burn up at a much lower temperature than when the glaze would benefit from the reduction that it would produce. The charcoal would be burnt away much earlier than the glaze would vitrify.

  • @chrisparkin6894
    @chrisparkin6894 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It looks to me like the thickness of the glaze has changed. Could the new batch after you have moved have more water (a lower density) that what you were using in the past? Re Lumos and T.G Do you have a glaze sprayer? That's an easier way of getting the second coat on without risking the runs (You do need to let it dry between coats, but not as much as dipping - sorry if you already know this)

    • @Robotneonunicorn
      @Robotneonunicorn 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Can’t tell if this is a real question but here’s a real answer: mod podge is a glue so that’s only good for collage and paper crafts. Ceramic Glaze is a mix of minerals and silica that turn into glass when fired. If you draw or paint on a mug and want to seal it look for permanent gloss spray, maybe a resin or use the sharpie and oven method. If you want to glaze other items that aren’t going to be washed then you can use resin(uv or 2part) or polyurethane glaze for a good shine and water proofing.

    There is no coal in this video; only charcoal. Charcoal is not coal. Very much not coal. Charcoal is a usually man-made substance, crafted from plant material over a slow low oxygen fire. Coal is an ancient mineral rock high in carbon, formed over massive geological time. There is also a giant difference in how hot these two things burn and how easily they light.
