placing a kiln outdoors

Greetings,

I am just beginning to learn to set up my own pottery studio, having
worked in various classes and public studios over the years. I am
contemplating getting a propane fired kiln and wonder if it is possible to
set it outdoors. I have a place on my property that once was a fireplace
outdoors - all stone and concrete. It gets cold in the winter where I
am.

Would appreciate any thoughts. I don't have enough electricity brought
onto the property yet to fire up an electric kiln, nor a place to put it
that would vent well enough.

Thanks.
