Making a Primitive Downdraft Kiln in the Bush

Ever since Primitive Technology host, John Plant, has gotten back from a several-year hiatus from YouTube, he’s gotten a lot of criticism from people who say that now he’s just rebuilding everything he’s already built (huts, bricks, pottery, kilns, forges, etc). I don’t really care. For one, he rarely rebuilds the same as before (he makes improvements, tries different designs) and it’s mesmerizing to watch him work whatever he is making.

In this video, John constructs a lovely downdraft kiln out of mud.
