Koohii stories:

1) [smithsonian] 21-5-2007(374): Be sure to put a hole in that ceramic sheep before you put it over the fire. Otherwise, it'll just explode in the kiln. (If you've never done ceramics before, it's important that the object have a hole in it, or this really will happen.).

2) [raseru] 14-4-2008(34): You put the sheep in the hole of the kiln and turn on the flames.

3) [kodorakun] 14-7-2009(19): True story: when I was a kid if there were lambs born in the winter we'd put them in a cardboard box and put them in the oven (on low!) to keep them warm. I guess this only really helps me out hehehe…

4) [CharleyGarrett] 3-1-2008(13): Oh Boy! A craft project indeed! Thru the hole in the top of the kiln, put in the sheep you sculpted from clay. Turn on the fire underneath and voila!

5) [nest0r] 25-1-2008(11): I kept forgetting the sheep in smithsonian's story, so just imagine the sound effects: "Baaa…" (bleating)/Baaam! (explosion).
