Our first firing of the newly remodeled Little Woody was a resounding success. The bottom did get a little too hot a little too fast, requiring some adjustments of the secondary dampers during the firing, but hopefully all we need to do is tweak the bagwall (a little taller with smaller gaps between the bricks).
Everyone involved in this firing, the same crew that helped rebuild the arch, walked away happy this afternoon. Here are some highlights from the unload.
