buy or build a kiln?

Lajos Kamocsay on fri 2 nov 01


Hello,

I can't decide if it would make more sense to build a small gas kiln or =
to buy one. I am looking at the 7 sq ft Aim kiln, which is ~ $1250.
How much money would I spend building a fiber gas kiln of the same size? =
Could I fire to ^10 in a home made fiber kiln? Which burner should I =
get?
Any experiences building a gas kiln of this size? Any plans on the =
internet?

Thanks,
Lajos

I purchased a premade aim gas kiln a year ago. Love it. Best way to get a
gas kiln when you can't afford or have room for a big sprung arch. Email me
off list if you want details. chris

by the way, pictures on my web site of the kiln
