making a kiln?
helo im looking for plans or tips on making a wood burning kiln, im thinking about 5′ by 3′ interior space and maybe a removable wall so i dont have to crawl in it. any advice is appreciated as long as its relevant. thank you
read “The kiln book” by Fred Olsen.
I think you are trying to make a car kiln as far as not having to crawl into it is concerned. Some welding skills will be helpful there.
Generally really good kiln design requires a lot of considerations, like the height of chimneys, for gas kilns it’s the placement of the burners, not quite sure what the equivalent thing would be for a wood burning kiln. Reading up on the subject at much greater depth than this forum allows will give you the information you need to build a good kiln.
There are other books about kiln construction too.
