Pit Kilns

A pit kiln is an early game method of heating items up. It can be used to fire clay into ceramic, for example. The pit kiln, over the time period of about eight hours, will heat its contents up to 1400 °C, or Yellow White.

To build a pit kiln, you will need:

• Up to four items to be fired.
• Eight pieces of Straw
• Eight Logs
• An item capable of lighting fires, like a Firestarter, or a Torch.

Note: Torches can start fires simply by tossing the torch on the pit kiln and waiting a few seconds.

In order to create a pit kiln:

1. Place up to four items down in a 1x1 hole with V.
2. Use eight Straw on the pit kiln, until the items are covered.
3. Use eight Logs on the pit kiln, until full.
4. Light the top of the pit kiln on fire!

The pit kiln will then burn for eight hours, slowly heating the items inside up.
