First Fire!

Added the clay and packed it down. Covered all but 2 sections of holes (total of 5 available with this venturi assembly) with pieces of steel and then a bit more clay. Hooked the air up and started the fire. Used a couple of pieces of heart pine to fire the coal off. Just lit it on fire added coal then turned on the valve just a bit. Took less than 10 minutes to get to this point. Smoke stays in the barrel. Nice swirl pattern on low or no compressed air. Flame on with 50 psi!
