I guess thats why i like these old Alpines,, they are on legs and in the
air.. We have moved the newest old Alpine 16 off the falling apart porch and now
its on concrete in a garage, we now have the turn it around and slide to a door
and bring it up about 14 inches and out into a driveway.. It least it sounds
easy..

When I built my kiln, I made up a frame and I have the
burners coming from the bottom. I don't need any bag walls
to redirect the flame. I don't burn my pots. The flame grabs the
wall and travels to the top.

Other than peeing in the wind...it's also unwise to pee
up hill!
