We can see some damages at the sides and of course at the hole, but I say it is great. there is fire personality in it.And real glaze! That means you attained high temperature. I can say that as an afficionada of pit firing!You could put an ikebana flower in it just like the Japanese do. Maybe if you put some barbecue coal in the bottom of the pit and wood chips of dry wood, it wouldn't produce so much smoke. Do it once again... your kiln structure looked very good to me.
