I have built this kiln in Scotland with Douglas they burnt coal, they put in
a layer of wood then coal then chalk then coal then chalk then coal then
chalk. It was like 2 to 1 stone to coal after it was going they closed of
the top to keep in the heat except for a small hole. They also closed off
the bottom except for a small hole so the coal did not burn too fast this
built up the heat in the kiln instead of going up the chimney.

Ken,

Gerard Lynch is really our inspiration for this project. Here is the article
that started it all. You can see his small kiln and how our model is a
variant. Go to
