This wood kiln was built by
Bryan Mattraw and Robert in the summer of 2001. Robert wanted a small salt kiln
that could be fired quickly, with wood or gas, for testing salt glazes.
It is Robert's observation, that small wood kilns are inheritably less
efficient than larger kilns.
This single chamber wood kiln takes just as long to fire as the
60 c.f. Noborigama
and uses about as much wood. |

The wide chimney draws evenly across the chamber. The height was
determined by the need to exit the roof of the shed.

Single Chamber - Wood /Salt or Gas/Salt
|
It has a stepped down
internal firebox, so it can be fired with wood, but it can also, and
frequently is, fired with gas. |
