Valerie, when I moved to the seattle area, and lived in an apartment, I had a
smokey Joe outdoor fireplace. They are large, and open. I wrapt foil around
the sides and fired tiles in it on my balconey at night. Iam certain the
grill would likewise work. I have used the grill to reduse in after raku
innumerable times. I always say, cheat and try whatever it takes to do what
you need to do. I am still not in a situation where I have a studio, but I
have gone back to work. I'll be using red bricks, and building them around my
work. It is chilly here in "Nimbostratusland", I rented a wheel, just to get
in touch, but it is still too cold to go out and throw. good luck, I hope you
are encouraged. Sherry McDonald Stewart
