Charcoal firing

Next week I hope to do a firing with charcoal providing that it isn't too windy. I have built a small kiln a couple of years ago but because of the dry weather in the Okanagan I have not had a chance to fire it up mostly because I'm only around for the summer. I think that dry areas like these are not really suitable for wood firing kilns. I was about to buy the supplies for the kiln but I decided that I should prepare the pots before I prepare the kiln. Seems that the last time I prepared stuff I didn't get a chance to fire so today I spent the day hand-building in preparation for next week's firing.
