Jon,
Did you see the wood fire kiln in Pottery making Illustrated that used
the bodies of three kilns?

No Marcia I did not see the issue you are referring to. Sounds =

loads. It's a lot of fun(and hard work) and I do love the results.=20

These kilns where a gift from the gods. Recently I had the pleasure of =

would be great to have a gasser. But at the time it seemed far out of =
reach. Now it will become a reality.=20
