Funnily enough, I was thinking yesterday about how heat might be collected from the chimney & recycled back into the kiln.. perhaps using a coiled metal pipe inside the chimney and some kind of electric fan system. If you know of any useful sources of information about rocket stove mass heaters, I'd be very interested to take a look at them.Mark Smalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087646142136111397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408256548635370709.post-46514599418226304602013-01-14T13:27:21.234-08:002013-01-14T13:27:21.234-08:00When i was in my teens I helped build a combinatio...When i was in my teens I helped build a combination anagama and catenary arch kiln. The thing was a beast though...10-12ft stack on the back of the catenary arch. But the flow was interesting...still had the normal stoke hole that would be on a catenary kiln...but the anagam was right behind that. <br />Anyway, years later i ran into rocket stove mass heater technology. This method of heating is cool cause it reburns the smoke from the initial fire and creates more longer lasting heat from it... Maybe there is a way to combine those systems to make what a mini wood fired kiln. benjaminblankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254935220126020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408256548635370709.post-22888511109192680662012-08-20T11:49:35.394-07:002012-08-20T11:49:35.394-07:00Wonderful!!!

The video on how to build a minigama and the wiki will be especially useful. It would be great to see your photos. I am on facebook under Mark Smalley Ceramics.. if you are a member, please do add me as a friend..maybe we could share photos there. Thank you again for your help! :) <br />Mark Smalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087646142136111397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408256548635370709.post-42646235600987962672012-08-15T03:00:37.629-07:002012-08-15T03:00:37.629-07:00http://www.merkelhess.net/works/2009/spongefactory...http://www.merkelhess.net/works/2009/spongefactory.php you will find another small furnace downdraft<br /><br />this is another Akira oven, based on a traditional Japanese system to heat the house (shirrichin)<br />http://web-japan.org/nipponia/nipponia32/es/feature/feature10.html<br /><br />a video on how to build the minigama<br />http://www.facebook.com/HollieRiceCeramics/posts/400494546655150<br /><br />and this is the wiki that makes a friend<br />http://ceramica.wikia.com/wiki/Minigama<br />The oven is cheaper, although we are the most beautiful ... works great ...<br />you can do just round and cover with refractory ... coal and vegetable mix, put the pieces in the coal or on a piece of refractory ...

I would love to learn more about the use of hairdryers too, that sounds fascinating!<br />Very best, Mark Mark Smalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087646142136111397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408256548635370709.post-53068856306827794312012-08-14T14:19:46.842-07:002012-08-14T14:19:46.842-07:00Hello, sorry for the translation of google

So I am investigating a number of cooking pasta without breaking support<br />I have built small brick kilns circular BBQ, mineral coal and air (with a hair dryer) + 1300 ยบ c in less than an hour!<br /><br />Hopefully get to design a small wood kiln ... is one of my dreams: a mini-Anagama<br /><br />regardsplanetabarrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988202380077554005noreply@blogger.com
