Just build it tall - over half again as tall as it is wide and deep. That
is what I did in an attempt to get more volume and now it fires 2 or 3
cones hotter at the bottom than the top. It is a downdraft Oregon Flat
top. I am still playing with the inclined fire bricks in the flame path.
Last time was worse.

Paul,

The kiln is designed to fire unevenly, so it can get tests fired with different conditions and temperatures in the same kiln.

That's a great idea! How do you design a kiln to fire consistently,
unevely?
