Biglou13 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Didn’t want to step on other thread….. I got the green light on an old Skutt 1227 conversion to gas, and since I already have (most parts) forced air burner. Basically squirrel cage, rheostat, and plumbing parts. I have enough super duty hard brick for chimney flues and other construction. i'm using 10 cubic feet as kiln volume. ? My first inclination is to cut burner port and exit flue in floor of kiln to maximize ware space? ? how big exit flue? 2.5 square inch per cubic feet of kiln (Olsen, The kiln book) will hit 1 extra extra angle before box/chimney should I increase size? ? how big inner dimensions of chimney? ? the pressure gauges are broke on parts I have what pressure range do I need and what valves, and where in line from tank to burner? ( propane) pictures coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Bridge Pottery Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I remember it's minimum 1 inch cube flue area for every 10,000 btu. I worked mine out that way. Estimate at about 60,000 needed but went with a 3by3 inch flue and kept the chimney the same size as it was easy to do with bricks leaving a 3by3 space. I had a similar idea to go out the floor but couldn't work it out so went out the back. I would see no reason it wouldn't work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
