Hello,
I'm reading and studying for the building of my new gas kiln. For
years now I've been reading and picking up ClayArt facts and one
thing I remembered was how useful Oxygen Probes are....
Well, now that I'm checking prices I find that the Oxygen Probe sells
for about what I hope to build my entire kiln for . But, I'm not one
to give up without an idea or two or three first.
Here is my question for the gurus:
If I just want to get an indication of "degree of reduction" with
a philosophy of "something is better than nothing" is there just
perhaps something useful to be learned from monitoring the CO
in a split off and cooled stream of exhaust air from my kiln??
Clearly even a continuous Carbon Monoxide sensing device can
be had for a fraction of the cost of a Oxygen Probe.
And finally, if this is a stupid idea, is there perhaps something
else
that can be monitored "economically" without breaking the bank?
Thanks in advance,
George Koller

Where I'm having a lot of fun gathering up books and information for
this project. This is intended to be about the simplest possible "gas
test kiln" possible at about 6-8 cubic feet. However as a ex quality
control guy, and so on, I'm really fond of the idea of getting some
measurement on the "degree" of reduction in that kiln.
