What temperature does hot embers/ash get to as a wish to fire kids pottery items in the bonfire?

Kiln fires pottery requires about 1000 degrees for firing. We’ll be experimenting by putting some items in a camp oven and some straight into hot embers. Any knowledge on the temperature of same would be appreciated. How long would we need to keep hot embers up to it? And I understand we leave the fire to die down and fish the pieces out the next day or so. Please advise.

I tried this in a metal bucket full of sawdust, I didnt think it lit ,gave up went to Bed ,It burned all night and the peices were black ,and pourous but not clay any more. I had them buried halfway down in a 5gallon bucket. Look up “Raku” firing.
A creamic shop would probably kiln fire for a small fee.
