bourry firebox plans for a trainkiln

I have posted plans for a Bourry Box showing each level in a Lego type
program called BlockCad which is free on the net. Each level is shown with
some extra pictures of the box from the side. The inspiration is from Steve
Harrison's LaidBack Woodfireing book(a terriffic resourse, particularily
now with the CD showing video clips) but the actual diagrams are mine and
any imperfections are mine alone. Each level can be printed and used
without charge or obligation but realize that there are no garentees,
however these are the plans I used and they seem to have worked out well so
far. I am intersted in hearing of any changes to these that need to be
made. I am willing to send the actual lego files to anyone who would like
to play with them on the program. The plans show 18 levels of brick
although we stopped at 17 as we felt it was as high as we wanted to go at
that point. The rear throat arch is not able to be modeled very well in the
program so there are some pictures of how we did it. The plans are here
