Mel
I down loaded the plans. Thanks to you and Kurt and all others involved in
this project!!!
Not having ever built a kiln before nor having been around many except
mostly electric, could you go into a little more detail on the flue
construction, (double venturi) or maybe different terms that a novice
builder could put into use???
Nearest gas or wood kiln to me is about 60 miles away.

To begin - the exit flue (opening in the wall which is the passage into the
stack base) is 31.5 square inches (7"wide and 4-1/2" high).
Beyond mentioning the above and to further clarify the PMI MFT drawings of
the "stack base" & ":double venturi" I must refer you further to page 20 -
22 of Nils Lou's book, The Art Of Firing.
Please don't take this as a "cop out" but Nils' explanation and the
photographs in his book clarify that issue better than I can.
