hank murrow asked after the fiber roof and door that
feriz delkic made for us.
`yes, it is in perfect condition.
the same as the day we installed them.`
i am convinced that the best salt kiln made,
would be of itc sprayed fiber. thick coat of itc.
but, that would be very expensive, and for those
without the skills in fiber construction, it may be
difficult.
one of hank's wonder kilns....with a strong itc
coating...would probably stand up for years of soda
firing.

the least expensive, and easiest to maintain and rebuild
would still be hard brick.

Yes. I have often thought fiber would make a fine salt
kiln if first coated with 1/4" of Satanite and further
coated with ITC. When the kiln does break down, think
of what you've saved in fuel.
