I need to know if the folowing system is sufficiently vented. The kiln is a
high fire, downdraft, forced air kiln, 5'sq., insulating brick, with a
chimney extending above the kiln about 3'. It is located in an old
corrigated metal building 60' X 40' with a 25' ceiling that has 4 vents in
the ridge. The chimney is directly below one of the vents. Is this OK or do
I need a fan in the vent or something. What da ya think pyros?

thanks in advance~
