He needed to run the pipe lines over to the gas, make connectors,add pressure gauge, make a damper and find some door brick.
So that is what he did.
If you want more detail you will have to ask him.
Last Saturday he bricked the door for a test run and to season up the kiln.
He took it up around 400 degrees and it just coasted right up there.
The next plan is to load it with pots and fire but it is too doggone cold this week.
Maybe next week we can get a unseasonably warm day, well, one can hope.
Might be a tad too powerful and we have another size to set down to.
Damper
Rather then stand on your head.
There she is ready, willing and able.
Time to fill her up!
Now to just get it done.
Cheers!

Oh gosh, its humbling really. Some of us just make a few pots and crack a few jokes, and you folks build kilns too!
Would love to know what kiln you decided on...and from where? I am envious of your (!?:)) gas kiln skills. I will have one one day!
Great to see the little kiln all finished. It's gonna be a nice addition to the family.
hope you get some good results with it, you can fire more often, what a treat.
I'm eager to see what comes out of it. It sure looked ready to go back in October.
Way to go you guys! Hip Hip Hooray! Can't wait to see what you guys have in store for your new kiln.
