Ted -
One of the best refractory suppliers in the Southeast is Larkin Furnace
Supply in Conyers, GA. I do not have their phone number here at home, but I
expect you could get it from information. The head salesman is named Jim
Wunch, and he is a good guy. He has some great prices on both hardbrick and
IFB.
Best wishes -

vince is right larkin has the best prices around. and if you have any
problem with bricks or kilns he is a wealth of information. his ceramic
blankets are cheaper than you can buy them from your local pottery supply
as they buy it from him and you get the same price as they do. so check
them out! i have and its well worth it!

Hey Jim
Thanks for the great post on your refractory supplies. This is
just what i have been looking for .But do you have any distributors located
closer to Indiana/ohio area ? If so let me know. And if any one else knows
of any dependable refractory suppliers in this area that also have tech
support on building ceramic kilns in the 15 cu ft size for ^ 10-12 propane
or nat gas,it would be so helpful.The only thing i have found is the hard
brick at a local fireplace supply business and temp ranges are very low.I'm
so ready to fire w/ gas and get away from ^6 elect. I built a raku kiln and
have fallin in love with the flame And smoke. I will always love ^6 But i'm
ready to expand my horizons. Hopefully $12.000.00 will get me to that
point.One more question also do you have to completely enclose a gas kiln
in a structure or can i just build a roof structure over it. I'm building
this in an area where building codes are not a problem, I'm just thinking
about wind factors and such. Thanks for any input you can offer.The more i
learn the sooner i can burn.
