Hello,
I am in search of som input on building a wood kiln. This project would
be of modest size, perhaps at or around 15 cubic feet(stacking space),
and all the other bits and pieces. What I really need is firsthand
advice concerning the costs involved, possible problems, design
advantages/disadvantages, and other quirks of building a wood firing
kiln. Please, I have already heard the endless virtues of olsen's
book(s), and would rather keep it that way, but references to other
books and wood are appreciated. Thanks!!
Kevin
