Translations:Pit kiln/2/en

The various fill stages of a pit kiln for 4 cooking pots.

The final two stages of a Storage Vessels Kiln setup. Note the top layer is above ground.

Pit Kilns are the only current method of firing clay items as the firepit no longer serves this function. They are created by digging a 1 block deep hole and placing the raw pottery item(s) in the bottom. You then fill the kiln with dried grass, sticks and some form of top-fuel (firewood, peat, charcoal, coal, etc..).
