Hi Elca,
This isn't Vince, but if I remember right, in an early version of the
updraft kiln. The kilns were about 4 feet tall and fired with wood. The
firer would take the kiln to temp or close to it in oxidation or neutral,
give it a shot of reduction for awhile and then back to oxidation to clear
the kiln. I know the work was within the Earthenware temps, maybe to our
^04 or so.

Elca,
I would refer you to a book entitled:
Karin Hessenberg's book "Sawdust Firing"

I saw the thread on absestos in kiln bricks and as I have just recently
acquired a very old kiln, I am curious to find out what environmental
dangers my "new" kiln may have. Its about 25 years old and hasnt been used
for the last 20 years as it has been sitting in a basement...Thanks!

I have come by an old book that shows some even older ceramic related
equipment related to china painting and china firing. I will just
mention them.
The Wilke China Kiln (circa 1903) Made by Wilke Manufacturing Co. in
Anderson, Indiana. Kiln was for China and Glass specifically. Fired with
either Gas or Gasoline!!!
The Old Reliable Fitch Kilns - (circa 1879-1905) Stearns, Fitch & Co.
Springfield, OH.
Gas version - Model #3, 16x19 inches - Price: $40. Write for discount
Charcoal Version - Model #4 - 18x26 inches - Price: $50 - write for discount
I wonder if anyone has ever seen any of these old kilns.

A friend of mine has two old kerosene kilns called "Revelation" in which we
fired reduction. The chimney finally burned out. These kilns are over a
hundred years old and were sold by Pewabic Pottery in the early days.
