If you want to dip your toes into doing your own woodfiring, you could always build an Olsen fast fire kiln. It's much smaller than the kiln in this video, but the smaller size also means a much lower build cost, lower cost per firing, less work to prepare for a firing, and you can fire it to cone 10 by yourself in 4 hours. Not much point in firing a wood kiln that fast since you don't get as much ash build up, *however* you can also fire it as *slow* as you want.
What does cone ten mean ?
@@jacobwhite8204 Cone numbers are a way of measuring heat work, which is a function of temperature *and* time. The higher cone numbers generally correlate with higher temperatures, but the length of time spent at a given temperature makes a difference. Imagine you have a lit candle. If you pass your hand over the flame very quickly, it doesn't hurt. But if you hold your hand over the flame for a few seconds it will hurt quite a bit. In both cases, the temperature is the same, but the amount of heat work is different, which produces different results.
Kickstarter 2.0 for wood kiln
Uploaded just in time: my coffee just finished brewing :D
(Edit) YES, I think you should go for it and build your own!
Please do build a wood kiln and show us the process!!! I really want to build a wood kiln sometime in the future, and I’d love to see the process!
This is, by far, the most exciting pottery video on the internet.
My favorite thing i saw in England was the old victorian kilns that are huge towers! This was so cool to see and get a glimpse of what those massive kilns were like 😱😱😱😱😍😍😍😍
Enjoyed meeting you. Can’t wait to see you build your own wood kiln. If you need help firing it let me know lol.
Yes! Do it!
I have assisted on a wood fire kiln and loved every minute. I understand your enthusiasm. I had one piece in the kiln and although I have progressed as a pottery since that piece, it is still my favorite. It’s beautiful and very unique, but it’s more than that, I have a connection to it, memories made with it. The man who owned the kiln, his wife, the little bedroom room where I took a “nap” because the midnight shift didn’t show up and I stayed all night, my friend who went with me and stuck it out, all that comes rushing back when I look at that piece, and I smile.
Can’t wait to see you succeed!
Sincerely,
Kim A Reied
A 6-day wood kiln firing needs a big BBQ party with plenty of spit-fired or grilled meat (don't forget the fish and shrimp!), potato salad, cole slaw, deviled eggs, and whatever else you can think of. And those great big "steins" you guys were holding? I kept thinking of Merry and Pippin in the Prancing Pony:
Pippin to Merry: "What is that??"
Merry: "This, my friend, is a pint!"
Pippin: "It comes in pints? I'm getting one!"
Yes build a wood fire my sister and brother in law are building one it’s taken 2 years to build hopefully we fire this summer ❤
Fun fieldtrip... I m putting a hand built kiln on my Christmas list!!
Jon, I hope you also had time to see some of the many other incredible potters in Seagrove as well. I live in Virginia and have visited several time and gone to the clay and glaze supplier in town. It is like heaven for potters there. I don’t know of anywhere else in the US with such a large concentration of generational potters.
I love that you're wearing each other's shirts near the end. Such a cute bromance. 🥰
Thank you Jonthepotter and Matthew Kelly Pottery for sharing this AWESOME experience with all of us! I am learning so much from both of you and what it takes to be serious potters! Can't thank you both enough for all the info you both are always so willing to share with us too!
Fire in the hole! Very cool oven. Yall gotta cook some pizza when done!
Okay John, do a kick starter and I’ll buy some bricks or part of the metalwork, the pad or part of the roof or timber framing. You could have guest potters each firing. Definitely get Simon from Woodfire. Have Matthew as your first guest!
You also have St. John’s Benedictine monastery woodfire in Minnesota with Richard bessnahan
Somewhere in the middle of Indiana northern Indiana and sw lower mi has a few of us woodfire guys. But NC has some amazing guys who do amazing work
Enjoy watching the process. I’ve seen wood kilns in Asia only they were built on a slant.
Just got to work on a team firing a catenary wood kiln in Red Lodge, Montana. It’s not as big as the train kiln. BUILD ONE! I loved the community of people coming together to make it happen. I am waiting waiting for the kiln to cool and can’t wait to unload in a few days
This was a whole lotta fun. Hoping you guys will plan at least one of these firings once per year. Thanks for sharing your fun and art.
Beautiful work, great fun to watch, and great job putting this video together Jon...go rest.

One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Matthew seems like such an easy-going, regular kind of guy. I've always loved pottery as a collector, especially salt-glazed. My daughter is a senior in high school and has made some really cool things in her ceramic classes by hand and on the wheel. Trying to find a class in our area and maybe getting a wheel for her one day if she decides to keep going with it. I've always wanted to learn how to throw myself but never had the opportunity. Such a cool little documentary. Thanks!!!
"I'm not going to show every pot..." me thinking um PLEASE do im dying to see them all
Such an amazing experience! Nice results! Matthew Kelly is very skilled and knowledgeable; lovely to see you guys working together
WOW! Kudos Jon and Matthew! What an incredible collaboration! Thank you for sharing your wood fire adventure from start to finish. The best wood fire video ever! Yes Jon, you should build a wood fire kiln!!!!! Enjoying you from the beautiful Mendocino California Coast.
Look at the walls of the kiln they look so cool! The colors you get from wood firing is so amazing!
A kiln gets better better and better as it is used over time.
Yes! Build your own kiln. That would be fabulous! 🎉
Y'all better have cooked some steaks on some of those coals you were raking out! Would have been a great time for a community barbeque/hog roast!
Do it. Jump in. I am building a giant wood fired kiln in mid Minnesota. My children and I have built everything but the actual kiln which is going up this summer. We hope to do a firing in the fall.
Build it. It is worth the time. I would love to see more kiln build videos.
I hope to make a video of my build.
You were on Main Street lol I grew up not far from seagrove & train at the Seagrove fire department, and my first waitressing job was at jug town Café
I'd love to see more primative types of firings
Build that kiln!
I loved watching the livestreams! I have followed Matthew almost as long as I have followed you and you are both great! Love the collaboration!
I loved the live videos along the way. It has also been cool seeing you take videos and now seeing the result. I get the best of both worlds! Live updates but also beautiful videographer version.
Ok, your signature wreathed in flame was stunning.
I've developed a real love for wood fired pottery over the last year. I've been intrigued by the Japanese Anagama kilns and the effects of the firing process on the pottery. Would love to see you build a wood-fired kiln!
Yes please build a wood fire kiln! At my college they have a wood fire kiln and it was the most incredible thing to experience.
Insane how this video doesnt have more views
Loved this! This is definitely my jam! So cool!
I completely support you building a wood kiln!
I grew up in Western NC (Catawba Co.), and these kiln firings and openings are so much fun!! My mother, took me along to many of them. I think you absolutely should build a wood kiln! It's an amazing example of true community and love for the arts. ❤
You should totally make a kiln!
Of course you need to build a wood kiln! Great video, love that you guys were able to get together on this endeavor. 😊
Lots clay projects in fimo and an oven never in the fire. I think it's time. Was fun viewing your adventure. I'm also a lapidary I have access to many minerals.
That was fantastic guys!
Very cool vid! Worth the wait! Congratulations!
So happy to finally see this! Great turnout 😍👍
Great video. Good description of the process.
I will help build wood kiln! I bet you’ll get too many volunteers!
Fantastic! Great video and amazing pots... love the process 🔥
Great video, one of my favourites.
Awesome video and footage!
Looks like fun!
Wow! What an amazing process!! This was sooo incredible to be able to watch. I had no idea how this all worked. I love the variations of everything. This video is Total inspiration!! Thank you sooo much for filming all of this.
Yes, and bring in Minnesotans to join in. You might even draw in potters from out of state to help you with building kilns and also with firings a couple times a year.
Yes! You should go for it!!
Fantastical. Great work, guys.
Stoked.
I love this video Jon. The community of potters where I live (Alberta) is much similar. You put out the call and they are there, lending a hand or anything. I love the sharing that goes on and constant learning. Cheers,
Absolutely fantastic !!!
Fascinating for sure!!!
This truly was an epic video! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. I hope you build a wood kiln up in MN too, so many videos and cool pots could come out of it!
Wow! This was SO interesting. My little electric kiln is such a baby!
AHHHHMAZING!!!!!!!! I would love to follow you on your wood kiln journey!
The results are impressive for each piece. Yes to developing your own wood burning kiln. 🔥
Absolutely great video
Such a beautiful film
Really great editing Jon!!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie
Excellent
I've been watching your videos for years and I had no idea you were coming to Seagrove! I live about 20 minutes from there. It's an amazing place, especially for ceramic art.
This is incredible I love it so much
I'm really glad you made this video, hard to explain to people the amount of effort wood firings like this take!
Awesome video
THAT was AMAZING 👏 thank you.
Gets me excited to get back to wood firing. Guess ill need to start throwing again. Great job!
Great video! Where's the picture of me? LOL
Oh my gosh a new place called camp v here in Naturita CO just got a grant for an art center. I would love for you to pitch a wood fire kiln.
Freaking awesome guys
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience! Yes, build one! I would love to experience this. Beautiful work.
Amazing experience!
Build a wood kiln! Do it!
Go for that wood kiln Jon!
This is all beautiful 😍 and I would love just to have the broken pieces!
Just go for it !! I think all your subscribers will love to follow your journey in building a kiln
What a video!!
Too cool! Beautiful pieces. It would be awesome to have a community firing like this! Nice video all the way through. John, if u build it they will come!
I bet that smells amazing i love the smell of burning wood
That was fun. And yes a wood fired kiln should be in your future.
Love you videos !!!! JON THE POTTER, you play with Clay's like I play with ,,SO COOL !!!
So I originally found your videos when I first started learning ceramics in my undergrad, 2 classes and one juried show award for a stoneware sculpture later, and now I'm applying to a pottery apprenticeship in Minnesota! I didn't realize until now that it's in the same state as you so if things go well I'll have to give Mocha Monkey a visit 🤞 Have you thought of volunteering at St. John's? That's where the apprenticeship I applied is at and they fire the largest wood kiln in America (I think) about every year and I don't think it's too far away. From what I could find it looks like an incredible experience
Super fun to watch it live. You're both very inspiring...thank you!! Can you use those waddings in an electric kiln?
Very Cool !!!
I definitely Think You should build a wood fired kiln!
Thanks for sharing looks great and seems you had a blast God Blest
DO IT JON!! Build that KILN!!
were the thinner slats of wood you stoked ~12:50 mark the soft pine, and the bigger slabs the harder wood? what's the logic behind that? hard wood for a good long burn, soft wood for quick combustion and temp rise?
I've done two wood firings with some people from the studio I go to, and it's such a cool experience. I'll be participating in my third one this fall and I can't wait for the firing. It's great to see other potters try this out and see the setup and glazes. Very cool to watch your experience! :)
You should go back to the seagrove area and visit all the kilns. There are people who have kilns that make that woodkiln look like an electric kiln as to scale.
Definitely build yourself a wood kiln!,
build one, build one, build one!!! :)
Excellent video! Jon, have you considered building a wood fire kiln that is partially underground. I have no idea if this would be a good idea, but I have seen this kind of kiln at historical museums.
damn great pottery work with this kiln❤❤❤❤👍💪
so the burning wood in the front space is enough to heat up the entire kiln to such a high temperature? I can't believe such a thing is even possible when they aren't exposed to direct flame. I always thought that it was very difficult to get things up to such a high temperature, especially without air being forced in with a blower. Its crazy that this is possible with just wood and some insulation...
You have a pretty good idea of what it feels like making bloom steel the Japanese way
