I am starting to daydream about building a wood fired kiln. I am unsure
as to what exactly I want. Reading in the archives, I am somewhat swayed
to the bourry box design, but I don't even know enough to know that. I
have also seen suggestions of many books.
Can anyone suggest a book that perhaps has a breakdown of the differences,
as well as a comparison of kiln geometry, and what relations are
important.
I was thinking that the Fred Olsen book would be a good starter, but was
wondering if it might be too focused on one kiln type for this phase of my
journey.
I was thinking somewhere around a 30 ft^3. Maybe larger if need be.
I am electric now, 10 ft^3 and when I am producing I fire once, or twice a
week.
I am thinking castable, and am more interested in experimenting than
production.
I know this kiln will not be the last one I make, so it does not have to
be perfect. Just needs to be a good basis for learning.
