This morning I lit a small fire in the furnace to heat the refractory through and dry it out further. If there is water left in the refractory when it is fired up, there is a danger it will turn to steam and crack the wall or lid - although I already cracked the flowerpot when I was setting it into the bucket!
Full firing tomorrow!
