SO before I can work any more on the front of the kiln, I wanted to finish off the back. The old kiln is the smoke trail (or hopefully it will act also as a stemma chamber) but I felt that during firing the walls would crumble and fall into the kiln, thereby blocking the chamber and inhibiting draft. So I crawled in and laid down a brick floor, brick reinforcing walls, and a ceiling to keep it from collapsing. Not easy work as I bruised up my elbows, knees, and ribs...
