I, too, would like to buy a copy of Jack Troy's salt-glazing/firing
book. I think I've rounded up most of the materials available (at least
a few), including a couple of excellent videos by Gordon Hutchins, but
can't find Jack's book. Since I hope to have my new Geil kiln for
soda/salt firing sometime next summer (his are worth waiting for, but
you do have to wait; he always has a backlog of some months it seems),
I'm trying to learn all I can about the process as well as to develop
more proficiency with my small reduction kiln (12 cu ft) so I can fire
the slightly larger (17 cu ft) soda/salt kiln with greater ease. I know
these are not large kilns but it takes me a couple of weeks or more to
fill even that size. However, I'm not in a contest including with
myself. No "personal best" attempts here. I just want to make
pots...and make them better...and better...and larger...and...
Back on the topic: if you have a copy of Jack's book with which you're
willing to part, or know of someone who might, please e-mail the
information.

In the Mojave resenting her sniffles, but recognizing that we who are
older than dirt, and don't want to be returned to same before we're
ready, must take care of the small stuff. Drat!
