BTW, I have an interesting book here. I think my mom picked it up for me at a used book sale. It's called "The Energy Efficient Potter: How to save money by building your own fuel efficient kiln and firing it economically" by Regis C. Brodie (1982). I just went and pulled it out to look at after reading your post. I had looked at it before, but it seemed kind of complicated, but this time around, it looks less so. It places a lot of emphasis on incorporating the use of various kinds of ceramic fiber for kiln construction. I'm going to take a good look at it again this weekend and try to absorb some of this information. It's actually a pretty neat book with a ton of photos on kiln construction. I guess I'm trying to figure out how to apply firing chambers to different fuel situations. Interestingly, this book even mentions experiments... a sawdust injection fired kiln built at Johnson College in Vermont and both methane and waste-oil fired kilns at Skidmore College (all large scale operations of course, but kind of interesting to contemplate this sort of thing). -croc
