Thanks to all for the advice on gas/electric costs.
I hoped for comment on venting gas through a roof but this got lost
somewhere in the discussion of costs. I was worried that using a
specialised rubber vent to carry the flue through a corrugated iron
roof might not be adequate for a kiln:
The recommended flue (5inch) uses a rubber gaiter to get through
the kiln shed roof. Has any Clayarter experience of this type of
roof vent? The flexible vent takes the flue through a corrugated
metal roof. But the gases enter the bottom of the stack at
350degrees C (660F). Will the seal hold up? I don't want rainwater
down the outside of the flue onto the kiln itself (hot or cold).
