Look in the archives for the Abernathy kiln or get a copy of the
Ceramics Monthly article on it by I.B. Remsen. Easy to build. No
chimney, no bag walls, forced air burners. Easy to fire. Even throughout.

That's very intriguing, but where does the carbon monoxide go? Seems to me you couldn't have this in an enclosed space.

i like going over this idea from time to time.
luke's post reminds all of us that the kiln
has to match your vision, your work ethic.
(luke has send a video of his kiln and the process of
building it for our new book.)
i tell folks that a kiln should be sized to match
how many pots you can make in one day.
this i know is a `sorta maybe` idea....but if you work
slow, make one pot a week...well, why do you need
a 60 cubic foot car kiln?
and, if you are going to fire with wood, a small kiln
is as much work as a medium sized kiln. tony sure
got us thinking when we built our first train...all the work
for 50 pots. he hit the nail on the head. it was a
struggle in learning about the train...we did it. but took
it down. now we have a real kiln....and have 15 people's
work to fill it. about 350 pots...and it fires like a dream.
we call it a flatagama. and the grate is brick.. donovan did
a great job in this design. (as one would expect.)
anyway...i have been the recipient of thousands of brick from
people who have been caught in the `make a big kiln` idea.
they chase it for a few years...then buy an electric kiln
and fire cone 6. give me the old kiln..as i was the only
voice that said...`good god, what are you building? it is
far too large...good god, get a brain.` and i was right every
time. very expensive way to learn. in fact, i have not purchased
a brick for thirty years. even the wood kiln at the farm was built
with about 80 percent used brick. tim frederich brought us some
new hard brick to make it clean and perfect. but i have had
enough brick given me to build about 5 kilns. my 40 cubic foot
minnesota flat top that i fire all the time is made of brick
that was given to me. (kurt and i have purchased a few cases
of brick from time to time to make a perfect door or fill in. in fact
i love going places that have all new brick to build a kiln. thrilling.
but, i say this over and over...match the kiln to your work.
if you make fussy, carved, clean lined porcelain...why would
you fire it with ash and goooober? gas, clean perfect to cone 11.
if you make free work, loppy, want all that gooober...then build
a wood fired kiln. but, plan ahead..think...wood is a great deal
of commitment and work....and at 75 you will curse the wood
kiln.
i love gas. it is flexible, semi/inexpensive and will serve me til
i am gone. and, the kiln is twenty feet from my wheel...winter
or summer a great kiln...housed in a nice shed. but, then, i
love glaze so the kiln fits what i do.
