Hi everyone! I recently got the Easy Fire Raku Kiln from Ceramic Services,in
it's Instructions it says that one needs a high pressure Regulator (it came
with the low pressure Regulator) when I asked my Instructor guy at the
Hand-building class that I'm taking he said that you only need a high pressure
Regulator if you're using Natural Gas but if you will be using Propane than you
just need a low pressure one. Any advice
would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Annette Libby.

Regulator? Way more fun without one!
(usual caveats -- probably very dangerous, do at your own risk, not
to be considered good advice, former Darwin Award recipient)

I fire raku with propane and a high pressure regulator. I do not know or care what the pressure is as long as it does what I want. When in doubt, call Marc Ward.

Odin;
Very dangerous advice even with caveats. I was visiting and outpost In
the Sinai once and the host lit his butane stove and the flame burned so
hot. This excited me as I couldn't get my stove to do the same at my
place. I asked how he did it and he said remove the regulator. I was so
happy to find this out until he lit his oven. There was no hair on his
head and I found myself against the door on the floor. Never, never, never
remove the regulator.
