Years ago, AP Green mailed it's pocket catalogue to anyone who wanted one.
It had all the technical data about it's products, but more importantly to
kiln builders it had all the charts for determining how to achieve any
size barrel or sprung arch. As far as I know, these handy books are long
gone, and the old timers won't readily part with their copies. I scanned
my copy and posted files for the pages that are most relevant to potters. Firebrick Shapes Skews Complete circles Sprung arches Estimating Data Arch constants and temperature conversion tables If you would like the entire catalogue, just e-mail me. For $10 I'll mail you a CD. |

Marc Ward builds probably the best burners systems on the market. I always recommend his products to anyone who is building a gas kiln. He also has a great website that is full of valuable technical data for kiln builders. Here's a sample: Calculating

I developed some graph paper specifically for kiln builders. One file is
for floor plan and the other is for elevation. The floor plan grids
indicate 4.5" x 4.5" bricks (half bricks), while the elevation grids are
for 2.5" x 4.5" half bricks. If you want it to print to scale, you must
print it on legal sized paper. The scale is 1 inch = 1 foot. If your
drawing a larger kiln you'll need to tape 2 sheets together. The grids are
in a very light non-photo blue that shouldn't show when you photo copy
your drawing. I'll soon add an elevation grid for 3" bricks. The
floor plan grid is the same for 2.5" or 3" bricks. Elevation design grid for 2.5" bricks Floor plan design grid |

| One of the best places to get bricks and other refractory material in the southeast is Larkin Refractory. If your pricing out materials check them out. They usually have the best price around and they are happy to deal with potters. | ||
