@@deMibPottery Indeed! I wanted to know from the picture of a pitfiring effect on a pot, what would be your hypothesis on how the artist achieve this perticuliar kind of a look... But I dont think there is a mean to add picture here ?

Would a small pieces of rock or sand in the clay cause it to explode out while firing? I have some red wild clay that seems to have this problem

[@deMibPottery]

It may. I can't be sure :-)

So is the best way to fire outside in an oil drum of some kind?

[@deMibPottery]

You can make a pit for pitfire in many ways but I like the oil drum because I can easily move it around and it contains the fire well
