I've read and heard good things about Mr. Dotson, but are you sure this =
figure
is true? That's an average of 5.7 kilns per year. That's a lot of damn =
kilns.
I've built eleven kilns in the last eleven years from small low fire salt, =
to
fast freddies, to sprung arch down draft salt/soda, to cat cross draft wood
kilns and I thought that was a pretty good pace.
