Because of Beavers, I have decided to build a small wood kiln.
This Kiln is for calcining the bodies of some Beavers that my friend Carl had trapped for their fur. My intent is to burn the beavers down and use their bones as bone ash in a glaze. I will also be able to use it to calcine any other materials that I come across and I will also be testing it for temperature to see how hot it can get (to see if I may be able to fire work in it as well...)
The bricks are all dry laid because it is just a temporary calcining kiln.
Some technical details:
The firebox is 4' long x 18" wide and tall
The stacking chamber is 18" wide x 20" Long and Tall
The chimney is 6' Tall x 9" wide
The flame path will be roughly 16' long
I hope to fire it next week and will post the results!
