Gary -
One of our wood kilns at the Appalachian Center for Crafts is a two-chamber
climbing Bourry-box kiln. It was the cover story in CM in 1989 - I do not
remember which month. The kiln was designed by Doug Casebeer from Anderson
Ranch, and built under Doug's supervision by Jane Dillon and her students.
I'd be glad to provide any information I can.
Best wishes -
- Vince

Currently I am doing some comprehensive research for publication on bourry
box kilns.
If you are aware of anyone who is firing a wood kiln that has a bourry box
or any variation on the bourry box, I would appreciate knowing about them.
This includes potters outside the USA.
Please e-mail me their contact information or forward my contact information
to them.
Thanks.
