    About This Video:
    I built a cross draft kiln and fired a pot in it to test ideas about how cross draft kilns operate. A cross draft kiln is one in which the flames travel from the firebox and across a horizontal wear chamber before traveling vertically up a chimney and out of the kiln. Unlike an updraft kiln there is no perforated floor that the pottery sits on. Instead the pot sits on the floor of the wearchamber as the flames pass around it.
    Taking soil from a previous kiln and mixing it into mud, I formed the kiln so it was less than a meter long. It was 25 cm wide and tall inside the tunnel formed by the kiln though a slight curve was added to the tops of the side walls. The walls were covered with sticks and a roof of mud was put in place onto this. A chimney about 25 cm wide and 65 cm in total height was made at the end of the kiln to draw flames through the kiln due to natural draft. 5 grate bars made of clay were installed in the firebox to make combustion more efficient. A side door was cut into the kiln to access the ware chamber (25 x 25 cm).
    Clay was taken from the creek bank and mixed with previous crushed pottery as grog. It was formed into a pot with a pouring spout. This was dried and then placed into the kiln. The kiln was fired with the flames acting as planned and the pot was fired in a relatively short 1 hour and 20 minutes. It would have been a shorter firing time had the kiln not still been wet. The pot was tested with water and held it satisfactorily.
    Cross draft kilns are an apparent improvement on updrafts with the reasoning being that more efficiently retain heat as the hot gasses don't immediately exit the kiln leaving the colder gasses inside. Hot spots are less likely to develop giving a more uniform firing of the pottery. Cross draft kilns developed early in Asia, evolving from the practice of excating tunnels into the side of hills to fire pottery. It's unknown whether the European cross drafts were adopted from the east or were the result of the gradual extension of the firing arch outwards from the conventional updrafts. My personal experience is that this type of kiln fires quickly and evenly though I need to experiment more to understand the positive and negative aspects more fully.
    About Primitive Technology:
    Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials.

This channel is a reminder that we are all standing on the shoulders of giants. We have so much to be grateful for, and we owe future generations similar contributions to what we have received and continue to receive because of the labors and experimentation of our forebears.

      @@AndreLuis-gw5ox Most building materials contain some level of radioactivity. Then again, so does a banana.
      Eating 10 bananas exposes you to about the same amount of radiation as taking an arm x-ray. Flying across USA is 40 times that x-ray. Living in a building made of brick/stone/concrete for a year is about 70 such x-rays.
      The real problem usually comes from leaks of radon gas through cracks in the basement or through groundwater into wells - cause the gas pools inside those man made holes in the ground. Other use of granite, which due to its higher content of uranium (higher than other rocks) is also a source of radon gas. Good ventilation is your friend.
      Another issue may be presence of radioactive materials in the slag used in production of cinder blocks. Same with clinker.
      Basically, everything being SOMEWHAT radioactive, burning things down to ash/clinker concentrates incombustible material present - which often means heavy metals and other toxic materials.
      Usually it is not a problem. Sometimes though, slag for cinder blocks can be sourced from coal power plants or phosphate industry and thus naturally more radioactive.

      I know a guy who does something similar. Him and his group meet up and live in the primitive lifestyle for a few weeks before coming back to society for a while. He says it's a lot of fun and everyone in the community is valued for doing their part to build up their area
