I have a new book available now on the topic of my Small Portable Woodfired Kilns. 

I have been working on this book for some time. It was started before 2019. 

However, I was so caught up with the clean-up and then the re-building, after the catastrophic bush fire that destroyed our place, that I was not able to get back to the book until recently.

I get at least one email every week enquiring about my blog posts on the topic of these little portable wood kilns.

They seem to have the potential to become very popular, given the number of enquiries that I get about them.

Before the fire in 2019, I used to build and sell these little beauties. I used to build 10 or 12 of them at a time, in big batches, to make it most efficient and to keep the price down.

It turned out that I had quite a bit of descriptive writing about them, mostly cobbled together from my blog posts, but, I needed to do a bit of technical drawing to draw up the details of the two final designs, including the dimensions. The plans were never properly drawn. I just kept on adapting the previous plans by hand as the ideas flowed into reality, developing kiln by kiln.

Finally, I spent some time trawling through my photo albums to extract all the step by step images that I needed to illustrate the text fully with the detail of information that a keen amateur kiln builder/hobbyist might require to understand the full process of assembly.

During the decade that I spent developing these little kilns, I started from a very basic first attempt, and slowly worked on the design, improving it and polishing it. over  several years and 12 iterations. I finally ended up with two different kilns, both good, but slightly different. One smaller, and the other larger. These little gems are capable of firing to stoneware, cone 10 in just a few hours. 

Our fastest firing to stoneware was 2.5 hrs, using just one wheel barrow of sticks. However, I think that the results are better at around 4 to 5 hours and 2 to 3 wheel barrows of sticks. All the details are in the book.

The price is $50 plus pack and post
