A style of kiln popular with potters looking to make Anagama like pots
 without the extending firings.


 These kilns are designed for non glazed wares, as pots sit in coals and the surface effects are similar to those of many days firings in anagama kilns.

  John Neely college professor at Utah State next to "Train" or "Coffin" Kiln

 

Sometimes called a Coffin Kiln, because it is about the same size and shape as a coffin, other potters refer to it as a Train Kiln.

The basic design is such that an oversized firebox is at one end and the chimney stands at the other end of a rectangular box with a flip top lid.

 

Fire, ash and coals enter from the firebox at left thru the arched flue Flames exit via the checker board flues at the other end leading into the chimney.
