gas kiln

updated mon 9 jul 12

 

Simons, Frank on wed 25 sep 96

Have recently aquired an Alpine GF-4 gas kiln. At present it is not doing
much of anything other than sitting behind my house making an ideal target
for the occasional crow winging its weary way overhead. Does anyone have any
advice or suggestions regarding installation or operation of a kiln of this
type on natural gas? Like is there something you did you wouldnt do again?
or something you should have done but didnt? Any related stuff on this kiln
or reasonable facsimiles would be most appreciated. TIA
Frank in Penticton.B.C.

Hi Clayarters!

A friend, who lives in Clinton, NJ, asked me to post a message for her:
Is there anyone in the Hunterdon County area that would consider renting
space in their gas kiln firings?

Please respond to the list or privately to:
sbenscoter@juno.com
and I will forward the response.

Thank you,

Sande
enjoying the cool breeze and the warm sun in NJ

Hi all....
I have recently decided to return to my favorite of all things - clay.

what should I do about a kiln?

I have all the parts to my old kiln - 36 cu ft downdraft gas cone 10 catenary
soft brick arch with blanket- hard and soft firebrick, 4 venturi burners, etc.
It sure would be nice not to have to build two layers of fire brick for the
door.
I think I want to buy one with a swinging door - maybe 10 - 20 cu ft. -

There are so many gas kilns out there on the market - please tell me how much
you love your kiln....
Mary Lou

Marcia Selsor on mon 7 feb 00

20 years ago I built two new kilns for the college using a hinged door
for one and a car kiln for the other. Both were sprung arches. I had
rebuilt a catenary arch and a sprung arch at the previous lab, but these
were in a new location. I suggest you use a door on a car that rolls up
to the front. It can be fiber or insulating bricks. -and weighed down
with counter weights. It sure saves the wrists not to brick up doors.

Hi,
In the market for a used gas kiln or used electric that I can modify to gas.
Been firing oxidation for too long. I reside in Orlando Florida.
Thanks,

Hi Bob!

Where is your friend's kiln located? What are the dimensions? Is it a car
kiln, or does it have a hinged hatch?

These are things inquiring Clayart folks want to know!

Best wishes!

Hi Diane,

I have a gas kiln made from a scrap-metal oil drum (cleaned thoroughly
before installing the fibre!). It has 2.5" of ceramic fibre insulation
(1260C grade). Using a single raku torch setup I have managed to get it up
to 1300C on a hot dry day. I don't fire to that temperature but did it a few
times for fun. It used quite alot of propane from my bottle (small 19.5 kg)
which started to frost at the base. A bigger size tank of propane would have
helped I'm sure, and more fibre or board insulation. So it is possible, but
with my setup it is pretty greedy on propane and took a long time to reach
the high temperature.
It was fun melting a few pots though, oops:)

Hi Yann....I don't know where you live, and the cost of your fuel, but I
have a raku soft brick that used a lot of propane, and made quite a bit of
noise, and Lowell Baker changed out orifices to much smaller, cut down the
primary air a bunch...it's quiet as a mouse, and doesn't look like it uses
much more gas than my kitchen oven.....I can get to cone six faster than I
should....and the amount of propane that it takes was just cut down
tremendously....I also cook beans on top of it at the same time, just so I
won't look wasteful...I think some people on the list who know more about
efficient firing should explain how efficiency is not related to amount of
gas used...I can't, but someone should, in simple laymen's terms.....THERE
ARE LOTS OF INTERNATIONAL READERS ON THIS LIST WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE
KILN TECHNOLOGY OR FRIENDS TO HELP THAT MANY OF YOU ASSUME ...please kindly
assist these folks in plain terms......not one person in my country fires to
vitirification, except me, and that's pretty pathetic, and I can't help them
out a whole lot either, so if someone might be in a good mood, and would
be so kind as to in simple terms, suggest orifice size/primary air, simple
things....you might be helping more people than you know.....as Mel said,
there are people from 80 countries who read these posts....Melinda Collins,

Yann Ferric on wed 11 sep 02


Hi,

Thanks for the post Ron :D useful advice. Yep my oil drum is a jet-engine
taking off!. I hope the new one will be quieter, and more efficient.
I need to get hold of some technical info about flue and burner port sizes
in relation to kiln size etc. I had notes once, but they went astray.
(ripping pages out of notebooks is a terrible habit :S) So there are a few
books on my wish list at the moment: "The Art of Firing"
by Nils Lou, "Kilns - Design, Construction and Operation"
by Daniel Rhodes which I think is out of print but is mentioned alot :'(
and "The Kiln Book" - Materials, Specifications and Construction by
Frederick L Olsen (which I originally took my wayward notes from, last
century :O ). I can't wait to hear the new kiln 'take off' lol. My old one
is called Pop-Rivet Matilda, I wonder what this one shall be.

Ive been wondering how to minimise or stop the clouds of smoke caused by
raku when its put in the reduction chamber with sawdust etc. Has anyone
got any tips for how to keep the neighbours happy and unworried? I,ve used
damp sawdust over the top to keep smoke in and its ok for smallish
pieces , no idea about larger stuff ( which I would like to try).

Yann: Rakuing at night and in the rain so the smoke isn't so noticeable
hehe :D

John Britt on wed 11 sep 02


Yann,

There are two good ways to keep smoke down with raku,

Have a good garbage can and lid. Then put 2 or 3 sheets of newspaper on
the inside of the lid extending over the rim about 3 inches then spray
them with water. Soak them. Then when you put the hot pots in the can
put the lid on with the wet newspaper inside. It makes a gasket for the
can. You can use an old towel too.

Or have a bed of sand. About 4inches thick. Put the sawdust and paper on
the sand then put the hot pot on the sawdust, then put the garbage can
upside down over the pots. Push and wiggle the can into the sand. This
will seal it up. If it leaks spray water around the sand at the
connection.

Hope it helps,

John Britt
Penland Clay

Yann Ferric on thu 12 sep 02


John,

Thanks for the suggestions for keeping the raku smoke manageable, great
ideas, I will try them next time I do a firing. The sand method appeals to
me for some reason, so I will do that one first and experiment. Can't
wait !:D

Yann

Hi Dennis,
I think there is a guy called steve Davis who is on clay art, who has built
such a kiln. i hope he responds to you. If not, i believe there is a site
called "kazegama", or at least incorporates that word.

Steve Harrison

Burness Speakman on sat 26 jul 03


No offense, but why would you not put the ash in the glaze instead of a
kiln that small? And your purpose for the sawdust?

Bunny

Roger Korn on sat 26 jul 03


http://www.kazegamas.com/kazegama.htm is a great website describing a
truly ingenious kiln.

Steve Davis, if you read this, could you tell me what your thoughts are
on coatings (ITC, silica/kaolin washes, etc)
for extending the life of M-board as a hot face for ash/salt/soda
firings. I'm setting foot on this path in the hope of
finding something other than hard brick for a truly durable hot face,
particularly for kilns to be subject to
heavy use, such as institutional settings. Looking at the trajectory of
propane costs, a solution to this would
be a huge contribution to the advancement of human-kind ,
particularly our kind of humans.

Hi John,

When my wood Stove is running like a Locomotive...the
suction of the incomeing draft is enough to pul saw-dust in
from my holding a pile of it in my hand...

If it is sprinkled in front of the draft it goes horizontal
and right on in..

I should think one may do the same with a Kiln...or, any
number of simple methods could be devised...as let the
saw-dust fall in a trickle in front of the draft entrance.

Good luck!

That was exactly my intent, as well as the fact that my neighbors wouldn't

of buying, and storing firewood.

Not advertised,I personally have a brick gas kiln unmortared with burners in
South Carolina.that was not advertised.my studio 13 miles away from it
burned in Augusy and would consider selling but you would need to deconstruct and
move.It is very efficient and fires off a 500 propane tank or 3 in tandem or
natural gas probably a commercial line as pressure needs to be consistantly
adequate .12'' X 24'' shelves in near perfect condition available..fob

I'm going to build my first gas kiln soon.

I have the video and plans for the Graham Sheehan 25 cu. ft. kiln. It looks
like a good kiln and appears easy to build.

What I'm wondering is do any of you have any experience building or firing
this kiln, if so could you give me your feed back on it??

Thanks!!!

Dear Gene -

I built this kiln but haven't fired it yet. I didn't use the fibre =
blanket
and buttons on the inside - just did the brick. I think that I will ITC
spray it. When I went to order burners from Marc Ward, he recommended =
six
instead of four, so I will have to relocate burner ports. Are you coming =

NCECA? I live here in Indy, and you could take a look at mine.

Dear Gene;

I would eschew the concrete slab unless you want to put a piece of
sheet metal under the kiln to prevent wicking of moisture from the slab
into the brickwork. I think you would be better off adding some crushed
rock to your site and compact that to support your kiln.

We placed sheet metal over the slab in Aspen, and the firing time
dropped quite a lot because we were not heating up groundwater anymore.

Cheers, Hank

My first reaction would be to go with a concrete slab. Even compacted dirt
may not stay level over time with a great deal of weight that will remain in
one place.

But maybe you could make it work with a thickish layer of gravel, a couple
layers of cement board, cinder blocks, expanded metal, then start with
firebrick. Don't know for sure.

I would hate to see you be "penny wise and pound foolish", saving some money
up front, then ending up spending more to correct future problems.

Gene & Latonna,

My first high fire gas kiln was built on concrete block over compact
soil. It was dry stacked soft brick w/ sprung arch. I fired it for 4
years without any signs of settling or movement. I have seen many
others built this way without problems. That isn't to say that a slab
wouldn't be more stable. However, there is no guarantee that a slab
won't move over time either, but if it's thick enough and properly
reenforced, it should at least remain flat. My $0.02.

Happy kiln building,

Gordon

I would get some crushed granite to lay down over the surface and compress
this. If it is raised a bit above the soil and leveled nicely you won't
get rain water pooling and being sucked up by the bricks which could cause
problems IMO. I see nothing special about concrete other than it giving a
stable surface that isn't going to shift and cause the bricks to crack. Do
you live where it freezes? Are you building any type of roofing to keep
the weather out? Donna

I've outgrown my Olympic Torchbearer 2327 kiln. It has been great,

someone had a larger Torchbearer or other gas kiln (Olympic, Bailey,

Thanks
