In my experience, using a wood fired kiln for earthenware
would be a lot of trouble for no benefit.
In any wood kiln you will have ashes blowing around and
landing on the pots. At stoneware temperatures the ashes
flux and melt, but at earthenware temperatures they will
still be pieces of ash.
When I have bisque fired in my wood kiln I have to brush
off every piece when it's removed from the kiln. I hate to
think about all those ashes stuck in a glaze. I think you
would need to fire in saggers to avoid the problem.
The fast fire wood kiln presented in Fred Olsen's book =22The
Kiln Book=22 is not much larger than 12 cu. ft. It could easily
be modified to a smaller size.
