Wood Stove Fire
Josef Wiesers firing up his wood stove.
In the open fire.
In fossil fuel kilns fired with oil, gas, wood, coal or coke, the fire takes place in an open flame and reducing atmosphere. This means that the atmosphere is deprived of oxygen during a certain phase of the fire. In this way, for example, different colours of the same metal oxide can be achieved.
Wood kiln firing takes place in a kiln with an open fire. Wood as fuel gives the ceramics a special individual surface during firing due to ash accumulation and the changing influence of the flames, the imprint of which is determined by chance.
