Why not just make a simple phone call to your local utility supplier
and find out what YOUR natural gas BTU content is??
Here in Minnesota the BTU content also changes depending on the
heating season - higher BTU content in the winter than in the
summer!! Ask about that too!!
Barney in Minneapolis - looks like we are going to have another
winter after all!!

Hi Group
Our neighborhood is getting natural gas lines put in this month. I am
in a very, very residential(4 houses to the acre)neighborhood with a lot
of house proud neighbors and their lovely lawns. does anyone think that
I might have a posibility of putting a gas kiln in now? I would only
want a small one, 10-12 cu feet.

I would include Cookeville, Tennessee in your survey of places to live. I
would strongly recommend you broaden the scope of your search to include the
cost of living, ( car insurance, property tax, state income tax, car tags,
etc). For instance in the state of South Carolina the cost of a tag is based
on the value of the vehicle, the same car in South Carolina that cost me
$750, is only $18.50 per year in Tennessee. The cost of car insurance, and
property tax are low in this area also. I would include the cost of propane
as a trade off to natural gas. Cookeville, Tennessee, or the surrounding
area, Joe L Evans Appalachian Craft Center near by, Home of Vince Pitelka,
they operate their kilns with propane. They are other potters in the area.
( Vince would be better contact than I on who they are.) One way to evaluate
the items that are important to you is to put a quantitative value of one to
ten on each item you must have in a new location. Score each location by
comparison and make your decision. Cookeville was rated by USA today a few
years back as one of the top five places to retire bases on the cost of
living. It is located in the middle of Tennessee, on Interstate 40, and
excellent north south, east west connections transportation. Good Luck in
your search.

Can anyone source me a liberal municipality or countryside environment that
has as part of its local attributes, ample and low cost natural gas supplies
and pipelines and not a lot of zoning requirements for the establishment of
gas kilns?
PA?
TX?
CO?
NM?
WV?
OH?
I plan on moving from a rather constricted area in Fairfield County CT and I
want a good price of gas by the cubic foot (below national average cost and
delivery cost) and liberal zoning so I can have a high fire kiln in a shed on
the property.

I would venture to say that Gas prices and definately zoning restrictions
are steeper in the western areas of the US. I live in Missouri. Even tho I
do not have a gas kiln or use natural gas I do use Propane for household
use, which is deliverable anywhere in the country you choose to live.
Propane is not really too much different than natural gas save the oraface
size which effects the output. Oraface sizes are adjustable. During the
summer Propane can range anywhere from 79 to 89 cents per gallon/pound. Of
course winter and demand raises prices of gas no matter where you live. If
I were moving I would shoot for some state in the midwest/east. We have no
zoning restrictions on emmissions in the country.

Well can't say we need any more pottery's in WV but how about
Free! Several part of WV have what is known as free gas. It gas supplied
to the land owner for heating and lights by the Oil and Gas company for the
inconvenience of dozing roads and laying pipe line across your pasture and
farm land. Occurring on land that has old leases that date back to the
time when Natural gas was a nuisance to deal with while pumping oil out of
a well. While most lease don't allow for commercial use it does heat the
house and garage etc include a few outhouses.
