ME TOO!!!
The fresh air intake for the Arvada Center is directly above our Raku
kiln. When we fire in class the whole center can tell. Many people try to
get the employees to call the fire department!! Pass on the good news!!

Michelle, I've never heard of this but I am interested in trying. One of
my students suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and the smoke is becoming
an increasing irritant. She's been forced to stop doing something she truly
loves.
Do you just pour the sand into the bottom of the can? How much is
needed? Do you know what the reaction is that eliminates the smoke?
Thanx

BEVERLY SCULPTR on wed 6 mar 02
I too live in the city and sometimes do raku firings. I use a sand box or=
a
circle of sand ( damp is better for sand pad) on the ground then a layer =
of
wood fine chips. Remove hot item from kiln lay on wood chips on sand pad =
and
quickly put more reducing material over item... put metal container over=
and
twist into sand throw more sand around edge to seal. NO smoke or no more=
=
than a few wisps. and a good seal =3D good reduction. When u put can over=
all =
put one edge down then other , If u put it straight down it creates a
resistance( dont know sience of it ) that makes sand fly around.
I like to use a sand box, contains sand and u can get a great seal. =
cover to keep cats out .smile.
I have been doing it this way for 10 years .works good for me .NO neighbo=
r
complaints. Hope this helps.

Do you just pour the sand into the bottom of the can? How much is
needed? Do you know what the reaction is that eliminates the smoke?

NO, not a problem. Firefighters all wear them.
At College of Marin we were getting smoke complaints from a class that had
windows up above the kiln yard. Our proffessor, Bill Abright, has come up
to a solution to the smoke problem from the reduction cans. He got a bunch
of shallow pans about 6 inches in diameter larger than the reduction cans.
The reduction can sits in the middle of the shallow pan and 3 inches of
fine sand is poured around it . Instead of a lid another can slightly
larger than the reduction can is put over the reduction can upside down so
the its open edge goes down into the sand, sealing the smoke inside the
reduction can. Very little leaks out.
It works.
