Yes,
The galvanized material is very toxic. I don't understand why one would have
to torch it off. The porable raku kilns I built are fine in terms of the
interior. Also, they are upright and portable. I have one that is on
wheels and can be wheeled around and put away right after the firing. Feel
free to check out my free step by step plans for building 2 varieties of
portable raku kilns.

Tony,
Guess that was a bit unclear. I didn't mean to imply that I was
torching off the galvanization in a seperate process. It is just part of
the deal when you first fire up the reduction cans, and sometimes the
kilns will get burned in places around the flu and burner port.
