You should consider getting a kiln vent, because you may be getting fumes in
the house that you cannot detect.

I have been following the thread about venting kilns. Mine is in the garage
and I have just started again to fire it. The garage is connected to the
house but I have been opening the garage door a bit while firing and cannot
smell any fumes in the house. Any opinions re whether I need to get a
venting system?

There may not be much organic material in your clay or your are
indeed getting enough air movement to remove the fumes you can smell.
But don't forget you'll also have fumes you can't smell - carbon
monoxide. A vent can also help with a cleaner firing and I've found
it evens out the heat in my firings.
