Burning with wood makes much or more sense than burning vegetable
oil (veggie oil is probably more effective in in diesel engines.)And
currently, we cannot used recycled wood to power petrochemical engines.
Never the less, experimenting is a positive thing to do.

Duff,
I have a catalog in Japan. A friend is a salesman for a
ceramics supply store in Kasama on the other side of the mountains
from Mashiko. I can't find anything on the web on cursory glances,
but will look again later.
They are very noisy, sounding like rocket engines.
I saw MacKenzie's rebuilt kiln the other day. It is as
huge as the one he replaced, but doesn't have the second back chamber.
The flue and drafting is much more efficent.
I asked how he likes his advancers and he says he really
likes them, but he had to adjust his heating and cooling cycles
because he cracked a bunch in the beginning heating and cooling too
fast He and Nancy are hale and hearty! He has a bunch of shows
including Shunn in Tokyo he is saving his best pots for. He is
experimenting with form and glaze effects. Some elegant shapes
reminiscent of Lucy Rie. He is an example that, both creatively and
politically, you don't have to ossify as you mature.
