Summary
This book covers the construction, maintenance and repair of electric and fuel-burning kilns. Of special interest are the new problem-solving sections on fiber and modular, construction methods for fuel efficient burners and firing systems, and building fastfire wood kilns.
The book covers the principles of efficient design, giving special attention to the correct kiln configuration for the ware that will be fired. Olsen evaluates refractory materials, covers building methods, with instructions for flues, curved and common walls, five types of bricklaying courses, and five types of arches. He includes plans for four firebox systems; for coal, oil-drip and forced-oil burners; and for butane, propane, and natural gas burners, complete with installation of pressure regulators and safety shutoff controls.
Complete plans and instructions are provided for building a kiln of any size, of any type (I.e. crossdraft, downdraft, updraft, and electric).
