I recently aquired an old electric kiln that I would like to convert into
gas. Does anybody have any advice on how to do this or a book they could
recomend? Thankyou

If you contact Carol at the Florida Clay Art Company you can get a
conversion kit with the burns and all. Josie

Contact Summit Kilns (813) 996-2575, P.O. Box 573, Land O' Lakes,
FL 34639. They market a number of top-loading gas kilns and burner/stand
combinations for converting old electric top-loaders to gas. I've neither
seen nor used one, and all of the other usual disclaimers apply.
