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..). | Pit Kilns are the only current method of firing clay items as the [[firepit]] no longer serves this function.
