Can someone please provide a definition for "beater kiln"?


Wayne,

Why... one for firing "beaters" in, of course. .

I think he is refering to a "junker" type kiln. A beat up marginally
functional unit that you don't mind having around so that you can abuse i=
t
without feeling like you are hurting anything...... cause it is in such b=
ad
shape to start with and you piad next to nothin' for it. =


Also see: "Duct Tape" and "WD-40".

best,

Laugh again!! I was first and now a description of Himself down
to a tee...

"A beat up marginally functional unit that you don't mind having

such bad shape to start with and you paid next to nothin' for
it."

Janet Kaiser - still ugly, heavily used, and not functioning at
original optimum level, but still useful
for something (even if it is only debatable)
