Begin by loading and lighting the kiln. Ensure the first load generates a solid bed of coals before adding more material. Once the previous layer starts to display a film of white ash, load new material in the kiln at a steady rate.
Monitor the flame closely as it guides the addition of new material, and always maintain a robust flame on top. One hour after the kiln ignition, launch the DMRV application. Proceed to the Burn Quality Proof section, and choose the Proof of Burn At First Hour button.
Select the Take Video option, and record the video for at least 30 seconds. Then, click the Submit Video button. Place the largest material during the mid stages of the burn to ensure it chars completely.
After the second hour of burning, record a 30-second video of the flame by clicking the Proof of Burn At Second Hour using the DMRV application, and submit it as shown previously. Similarly, at the end of the third hour of the burn, click the Proof of Burn At Third Hour on the application, and initiate a 30-second video of the flame. In the final stages, when the kiln is filled with red hot glowing coals, arrange the last few layers with medium-sized material to allow larger pieces to complete their charring process.
