Really fascinating, Simon. Ot is so great to learn to think of following the flame and how to deflect it. I am in the early stages of building a brick raki kiln so I am very grateful to learn these things. Have fun, thank you and good luck!
Simon thanks so much for all you share! I have been up draft gas firing for almost two years with frustrating results. and just got a decent old kiln given to me about that size. going to replicate your design for down draft ! Cant thank you enough. YOU are a great teacher !
Im in the process of converting a kiln using your last videos. Just sorting the bottom shelf and the chimney. Hope to get it going in a few weeks if life doesn't get in the way. Always love your videos long may they continue.
Hello Simon, Thank you for sharing the method to starting this. Your design got me thinking why couldn't a person Extrude a chimney Flue and fire it in another kiln and cement it into the wall like a regular fireplace chimney is done.This would provide a much more stable chimney top to control the draft and temperature because you could install something like a BBQ style draft control once you reach your target temp.
Hello Simon!! You are so practical yo explain that!! I am trying to make a gas kiln for raku and maybe I will use it yo high temperature if I can!! Any recomendation will be usefull!!
Thx for your videos Simon. I'm ready to build my own converted kiln, but wonder what you use for glue. I was planning to mix kaolin and broken up kiln brick pieces with enough sodium silicate to make a paste. Is that any where close to what you use? Thx for any insight.
Thank for the help Simon I see that you used 2 weed burners on your big kiln I have a kiln that is 27”tall and 23” wide can I get away with one hole. Or should I put two holes. I don’t think my kiln is not as big like yours. Im only trying to hit cone o6 on my firings.
It's feasible that you could wire up a single element for 30 amp outlet and use it for the initial drying, save on propane. Just have to make sure the element is compatible with 30amp and not overload your breaker... they do make them.
Thank you..Simon for this video , we converted our electric into gas to an, updraft the chimney hole is in line of the burner hole we get very uneven firings

I'm curious what pressure these weed burners use and what size rank you need to fire a glaze load?

You are having just too much fun!
Curious how are you cutting angles in your carbide shelves I plan on working on mine this month to get her goin

So if you cut another slot and block off the chimney with a bit of shelf you, in theory, have yourself a reduction kiln?
I see you have the same tweety bird that talks back to you everyday.
Hello Simon you're videos ate very inspiring, if only I could find a good kiln
Thank you..Simon for this video , we converted our electric into gas to an, updraft the chimney hole is in line of the burner hole we get very uneven firings
Can't wait to see how it fires, l also have a spare electric that I want to convert to down draft and it looks to be the same size as your one.,.
