The answer can be no, especially if the kiln manufacture specifically defines the distance from combustibles as a minimum of 18”. One of the unknowns here is how hot will the space adjacent to the kiln be allowed to rise to? The radiation from the kiln will also warm the wood considerably. Fire engineering says wood can ignite in the 450 - 500 f range so I think realistically having combustibles close to a kiln is not best practice and the farther the better. But note, if this space is setup so as to Always remove all the kiln heat, then 18” becomes less of a risk.

neilestrick Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 18" is the safe distance recommended by many kiln manufacturers. The more the better, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
