DEAR CORNEL: I have built a couple of Phoenix fastfire kilns but if I was
producing charcoal I was having a bad firing. My firings were to produce
pottery fired to cone 10 2380F. I don't know why you would build this
type of kiln to make charcoal but I'm going to send your request out to my
buddies on the clayart list ot see if anyone has any answers for you that
they will send directly to you. the Clayart list is a group of 3000 or
more? potters of varying degrees of knowledge. Perhaps someone will
respond to you. There are some very bright bulbs among the group and some
highly practical ones.
Hope you get some information.
Cheers,
Tony
