A quick question

Please, help me to calculate, how many bricks does it take to build an
average woodfire kiln? Have to make some sense about my future expenses.

Greetings,
A.

My kiln is pictured on http://www.mudslinger.demon.co.uk/web2 follow the
PWF links to the last page. The bricks are 9 X 4.5 X 3 inches in size,
single layer, dry laid. The pictures are clear enough for you to count
them! The kiln is approximately 12 cu. ft. capacity, can be fired by one
person at a pinch, tho' two makes it easier, cone 12 in a day with an
overnight warm up. Great fun.

Wow! I'd hate to see what you'd call an involved question.

This depends on what you call average, the design of the kiln, the
thickness of the wall, what you intend to build the stack out of. . .

I'd suggest trying to get a hold of 'The Kiln Book' by Olsen. You can
often find older editions on Ebay for less than $20.
