Thanks for the kiln info, David. I'm not building anything, any time
soon, but Patrick is building a wood kiln this summer back in Tennessee,
and will be firing it on his own. We spent some time during our long,
long firing talking about fast freddies, but I didn't know enough to
offer any specifics. Now I have a start to offer him.
I will take your post, and those from two Lees (Lee Love and Lee
Burningham, not my Prof. Lee), to hand to Patrick when I see him in the
studio this afternoon.
The sun is finally shining here, and I can see the light at the end of
the tunnel (winter, and school). I'm going to go pull weeds for a while,
just because I can. I leave early now for EMU because we have sniffed
out a place along the highway where cedar fence post merchants keep a
pile of scrap, split and broken wood, so I pick up a load in my van on
the way each time and drop it at the kiln site.
If I ever get to the point of building my own wood kiln, I'll just show
up in your driveway with the pop up camper and the kids ;0) I'm already
planning a field trip to Utah next March to see Lee B's rockin' school
kids (He has a rolling wood kiln on a trailer!) and visit Tony C and
John Neely and USU's big kilns.
Gotta go, the kids need to look up planets on wikipedia...
yours
Kelly in Ohio... thinking about "different strokes for different folks"
these days, your "dancing about architecture" article and your unique
superhero/hairy potter cards. I read my artist statement last night to
my 92 year old farm grandma, and concluded along the way that the second
half gets down to the point better than the first. I'll do some carving
before I truck it out again. I forget which famous writer apologized for
sending such a long letter because he "didn't have time to write a short
one". When I taught freshman comp classes I used to tell my students to
ramble on for a few pages, and then take the last paragraph and start
over there... walking my talk is a whole different story.

I would recommend Kusakabe's book on woodfiring. It might be more
kiln than Patrick is interested in, but Sam Hoffman just built
Kusakabe's smokeless design for a university. I have some photos he
sent me but I need to ask permission to share them.
here is an image of his design:
