RhondaT Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Happy New Year Pottery Lovers...I am relatively new to self firing...I have tried and failed several times...as I have been a studio member with excellent kiln service for years...However I am planning a move to Antigua to retire and set up a small pottery studio. As there are no kilns available locally and the cost of electricity is very high, I was hoping to build a kiln fired with propane and venturi burners...I have bought several books and looked at many videos but I am still filled with trepidation...so if there is a kiln maker/master out there who would like an island tropical holiday in exchange for helping build a kiln please come on down!. I will need to order and buy everything needed in the States and then have it shipped down...I do have a small Olympus hobby kiln I can Bisque fire in but I cannot get it up to cone 5 successfully no matter what I do...so help with that would also be welcome..

Mark C. Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Welcome to the forum. I would get you kiln dialed here in the states and then ship the kiln or parts to final location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueraven Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Have you thought about a propane fired raku kiln? It isn't that difficult to make one of welded wire, fire blanket, some 2-2.5 inch clay buttons, heat resistant wire, some fire bricks and a gas burner. I've made two so far, and all be myself. It can even be used for bisque were if you have a pyromanometer (did I get that right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
