Hi all,
I am working on some 4-5 ft slab vessels that are somewhat conical in
shape. I've been thing about building a fiber kiln similar to the one
pictured in Piepenburg's book "Raku Pottery" that was built by John Murphy.
Has anyone built a similar kiln? I'd like to bisque and reduce in this
kiln, or possibly once fire.

We have a 10 foot pyramid kiln in Agost built during a workshop there.
To view it check on the Spain 99 site below my signature and scroll down

Hello Valice,
I have just built a fibre blanket/wire mesh propane kiln at a workshop.
Five of us made them together. Took two full days, not that hard to do.
I've used one just like it at the school where I take classes, we fired raku
in it.
The guy we built them with said it should be able to get to ^6 with the
proper burner.
I hope so! I can fire sagers in it as well.
Mine is not as tall as you described, maybe 30" inside height, 20" diameter.
I don't know but I suppose you could make it larger.
It should work for bisque and single firing.
