Beaver- there is a type of clay called low fire clay. It is low temperature firing clay. I use it to make my pipes. I fire them in a wood stove. Wait til your pipe is dry, place wood around it carefully, light the fire and forget it until morning. A camp fire should work, too. I get my clay at our local community college- they like low fire clay since it costs less to fire.

Please do NOT use the "fake" chemical-wonder "clays"- they are NOT suitable for pipes!
