> Essentially an Ana-gama is a tube at about 15o, dug into the
side of a hill.Since the entire kiln forms a chimney,t is a simple matter
to built a proper additional chimney of X h.(adding brick or deducting
brick to change the draft.) We would suggest building this simple kiln
before proceeding to more sophisicated kils.... Three or four persons can
build a simple Ana-gama in a short day. Don & Isao
