Answer 2

If you can bake clay, you have a type of kiln.

I have matured many pots using a pit firing process in my back yard. This is a primitive way of firing and you are risking a visit from the fire department. I dug out and used a 2' deep hole that was 10' wide, stacked the pots carefully and covered them with sticks and small logs and burned the fire for about 8 hours, until the pots were covered with red hot coals. This took the amount of wood that would fill a single garage. It took me several weeks to accumulate the wood from my 4 acres so this is not an easy project. Also much supervision is needed not to set the neighborhood on fire.
