Back Door Potter has recently upgraded it's heart of the studio the "Cone 10 Kiln". When originally designed and built in 1993 the 40 Cu Ft kiln was to be a car kiln. Everything was constructed to hold the car or sometimes called a cart complete with the concrete driveway. After getting the kiln built money was short for actually building the steel car and tracks, so a temporary floor was put in UNTIL NOW. No more bricking up the door when everything is stacked. Not only is it easier to load for small functional ware, it is now convenient to fire larger sculptural ware. The next upgrade is rebuilding the arch to add 4 more inches to the height. New arch will be later in the year.

Many thanks go to Dan Siglar for tweaking the design and building the kiln cart and tracks. He also came up with a kiln puller or hitching post to pull the kiln car out of the kiln. I can now pull the cart out of the kiln with the use of the wench hitched to the cart & post. (kind of heavy when loaded) Check out www.ironmandan.com for help in your custom iron work.

Thanks also go to super student Lisa Anetsberger for her help in stacking up the bricks and pots on the new cart. She also is responsible for the Wood Fired Raku video on my site. Thank you all.
