kiln size/small is good

we have made many small minnesota flat tops.
they work like a charm. follow the basic design.
make it small.

big, small, tiny. just make one. the design
and function is almost the same.

no reason to think that there is only one size...it
depends on the use, the amount of pots the potter
makes. function.

if you make it small, and want to keep folks from
knowing what it is...make the stack one piece and detach
it when not in use. place a grid over the top and tell
people it is a barbie.

Mel

Could you tell me what a minnesota flat top kiln is? Or where I can get
plans to build one. I have been wanting to build a small kiln for some time
as I am a part time potter and don't have a need for a large kiln.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!!!!!
