Well small kilns are good for research and development because its
nothing really to take the bricks (of a very small kiln) apart and
reconfigure them in the space of twenty minutes(its just like playing
with wooden blocks) , the more efficient designs have a"circuitry"in
where the energy being used( in this case a gas flame )is powering a
series of 'solid state- machines' or 'internal non-moving mehanisms'
that utilizing a series of insulative and semiconductive refractory
walls, keep different channells (of heat energy) working interdependently
.
The second most important thing about a kiln (next to the melting point
of the walls) is the draft ,I think.So it pays to invent some way to make
the flame blow more of a draft ,the hotter it gets ,the faster it goes
and so on .
