I tore apart the existing chimney, leaving just a hole in the ground that connects with the back of the kiln. I then reinforced the walls of the chimney down in the ground by setting in a clay chimney pipe that had a hole cut in the side to allow for an opening into the kiln. I set another clay chimney pipe on the first one just to obtain enough height so that it would stick out of the ground. Now at ground level I will continue the chimney out of bricks all the way up to my desired height... I will also build in a damper right above the level of the clay pipes.
