@bshreve100 This was high firing (1250°C). And I think if u used propane it doesn't matter. Normally you can adjust the temperature so you can fire either low or high firing clay.. As far as I know :-), I'm no expert. Thx fr the comm
Thx for the tip! you got the same type 'kiln'? Just a barrel with no extra insulation.. And I think i'm gonna need a non-plastic fan if I'm gonna try that :-).
@notawuss lol.. No just my cellphone with 2MP camera, plus some video rotating olso messed it up. Thats why the barrel goes from slim to wide sometimes..
@afatdutch If you mean, how I build this barrel; unfortunately I have no footage of me making it, altough I think it's unnecessary because you can see all the important details on the vid.
If you mean posting a video of how I build a better one; perhaps in the future ;-).
And yes I think im forced to use propane but I dont have a burner.
I like the idea of using wood though because I like to be shop-independent, down to earth.
I know nothing about clay...do you use low or high firing clay?
and If you would use propane is would that be high or low firing clay?
Thanks :)

@jokaz82 I have absolutely no idea! Don't think it even came close to 700°C or so..

you should post a detailed video of you building it right. I believe propane is the best idea for fuel too.
