After all terracotta pieces are sun-dried well, it is the time to put them to the fireplace. The fireplace capacity is not so big. It can only store about 1500 pieces of 30x30cm terracotta. Burning process takes 20-22 hours. It means a person has to be awake in order to keep the continuing heat from the coconut skin as its fuel. If the fire is not well-controlled, it may result broken terracotta at the bottom or “young” ( lack burning ) terracotta at the top, this will cause a fragile quality of terracotta.
