How to Maximize Space in a Gas Kiln

Hi I'm Betty Ingham on behalf of Expert Village. We would put little things all around that. As in Christmas ornaments or some more smaller patterns or some more smaller items. Now we try to utilize every step, every piece, every inch of our kiln because it is so expensive to fire this but we are look at 600-700 hundred dollars for a load of propane gas. My husband and I our dream was to build a gas kiln and this is out kiln that we built ourselves it has 4 burners and it has about $3000 of fire brick. You would expect it to be very heavy but it is not it is very very light but it is very self containing of the flame and they weight about 25 pounds each and they are very difficult for me to get on the very top so my husband usually loads the kiln. I glaze it and he loads the kiln.
