The Finished Raku Kiln

To finish the kiln just cut out the fiber from the flue and the burner port. I used the utility knife and cut from the outside in, leaving about an 1/8 of an inch edged between the fiber and the metal.

If you have all the materials gathered together before you start, I think most people can build the kiln in about 3 hours.

I was firing immediately after completion.
