BTW You cannot truly fire Cob.  The Straw fibres involved become carbon and
ash and this weakens the "PseudoPottery".   Aside from that I KNOW you have
seen a 30 or 55 gallon steel drum.  A cistern of useful size will be well in
the 3000 Gallon plus size (if you have smallish needs and fairly constant
rainfall) and thus would be a AWESOME Underground Pottery Creation.  

Interesting Thought, Tho.  :-)!!
