Mudfish Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 At last I can report some success here with my cantankerous converted kiln. After many alterations and dismal test fires, I can finally say I'm enjoying smooth sailing with even temps right now. Initially, during my test fire today, the bottom level just lagged behind the top level. No matter WHAT I did with the damper. So. , I VERY carefully added more height to my stack during mid-fire, and it worked! I know the new addition looks like crap, but I'm so happy right now and looking forward to making the extra height look as pretty as the rest of it!

Mudfish Posted April 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 oh, yes that is a wooden beam. I have cut it away. I do realize that the chimney is kinda close to the ceiling., I keep a fan on it and I monitor it with a infrared heat gun. It does not get hotter than 130*f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
