Dear Lee thanks so very much for posting these two links about
mini-kilns/ovens!
My friend and I in the UK (my friend is Pete Brown, Steve will
remember him from his Bristol days!) are about to start building
'Medieval' clay ovens for use in 'living history' cooking and he will
be so interested and excited by seeing these pictures!
Did you realise that the translations of the text are pure poetry?!
Example:
"This time when it tries adhering to burning, with thing
Sincere virility, reaching, the simple oven."
and my favourite so far:
"As usual oh it is dense world explosion
The design which is impact.
This time, the smokestack being the tail of the bird, having become U
letter type
The spark springing out widely from the part of the tail
It is with the charm point.
Way it does not become annoyance of the other member,
The spark as for me who the seat and others make the other side front
which scatters
The midst when you agonize in repair of the oven
Oh densely it became the predicament which receives the baptism of the
spark of the oven.
(*_*)"
Beautiful as well as inspirational! Thanks again for passing these to
a wider audience!
love Karen - Kate Tiler

You are welcome Kate!
I agree, Babelfish is an Eliza program turned poet. :-)
The translation is as whimsical as the sculpture people
create to make these tiny kilns. Also, I think these concepts can
be used to build small kilns from whatever brick or refractory you might
have on hand.
The recent change in the photos I have noticed on thise
minigama, is that they are using about a meter length of pipe, maybe
scaffolding pipe, to blow the air into the kiln with a hair dryer.
I plan on experimenting. I think I will work on chambers
that can stack to create a mini climbing kiln.
