I'm working on building a new kiln, woodfired, and I'm currently researching
the various types used for wood, pros - cons, etc. I'm trying to think of
or
figure out what Mel has refered to as the "Train Kiln." What exactly is it?

The train kiln Mel & Kurt built in Wisconsin
(with Doug Gray & me schlepping bricks) was a slightly modified,
mini-version of John Neely's coffin kiln. I think there are
one or two images on websites of other coffin kilns,
believe Tony Clennel may still
have an image of his coffin kiln on his website. I don't have
the web address handy, but bet folks give you a few to look at.

Steve, I wrote an article about firing John Neely's Kiln in Logan, Utah
which was published in the Fall 1998 issue of Contact Magazine. I have it
published on our web site at http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/selfridg
If you go to the first page and then click on the story
Ah, So You Do It For the Ash
you might get a better idea about these wonderful kilns. Hope this helps,

Wanted to thank everybody who helped me
with "Train Kilns." I just layed out the
floor and started on the walls.
When I'm done, I figured the kiln should
roughly have a stacking space of 30 - 35
cubic feet. Maybe a little more.
I've been reading more and more about bourry
boxes, I've picked up several books dealing with
them and wood firing in general.
