Adding more wood to the mix

I bought a new 10-inch blade for Susan's chop saw, which she is using in the picture above, to cut up some pine slabs to add to the mix of wood that I will be firing the new kiln with Sunday. I sliced through a few of the larger slabs with my electric chain saw.

I'll be glazing a few pots today and loading pots tomorrow, preheating starting late Saturday night with propane, as I've got to maintain a 300-degree temperature for about eight hours to cure the castable key in the arch and the castable in the grate pipe.
