Here is my latest creation. It is an old
heating oil drum. They used theses big
tanks to hold oil to heat homes before natural
gas was piped to each house. I cut a door in
the front, use iron bars that are placed
across the door and bolt shut to seal it. I
have lined the drum with 6 inches of fiber fax
which can withstand temperatures up to
2400 degrees F. I use a propane torch as a
heat source, that goes up to 150,000 BTU's.
I place the torch so that the flames enter the
bottom of the kiln. The exhaust exits the kiln
through a 8 X 8 hole at the bottom rear, the
exhaust travels through a brick tunnel to a 6
inch stove pipe.
