RAKU KILN
Made from an upcycled oil drum, this Raku kiln is double-lined with 2″ (50mm) of the safe `S` type ceramic fibre (2 x 25mm). It is ready to use and includes the superb Stedmark S3 propane gas burner. This top-of-the-range burner has a flame failure device, gas on tap, and a control valve. It comes with 3m (10ft) of safe braided hose, gas regulator, and pressure gauge.
A fibreboard 14.5″ x 1″ kiln shelf, far more durable than conventional shelves, supporting fire bricks, gauntlets, damper pad and flame deflector. The lid fibre is secured with ceramic buttons and special wire. There is a side hole for a 10mm thermocouple. Pyrometer & Thermocouple now an optional extra. £140 see picture and details below.
Guidance notes are provided, plus my own Raku glaze recipes which are tried and tested. The lid and main chamber have carry handles to make moving the kiln very easy. It is not heavy, weighing a total of 21kg, you can use this kiln on your own; the lid weighs 4.5kg, making it easy to lift off at the right moment. I have been a professional potter for 48 years and have fired Raku for over 36 years. I run very popular Raku Days at my home studio.
This design of kiln is well proven and provides an affordable, portable option to that of other Raku kiln providers, better than dustbin types with a much safer burner option. I offer full support if you have a problem or are unsure what to do, phone or email for assistance. I am happy to help. Details given on purchase.
Size external: 60cm high x 60cm wide. Approx. total weight 21kg. Internal: from hearth to top 52cm high x 46cm wide, this = 94 litres or 3.3 cu.ft. 30% bigger than a dustbin-type kiln. From shelf to top 40cm high x 46cm wide, giving a pot placing area of approx. 2.5 cu.ft. (71 litres).

Raku Tongs £60
Made by my local blacksmith
Long Tongs hand forged by my local blacksmith 98cm long in 10mm steel, with an 8mm forged pivot hinge. Jaws open to around 25cm. These tongs have that `feel` you need when pulling hot pots from the kiln. The jaws have `V` shaped ends to minimise marking the glaze. There are cheaper tongs around, and tend to have a 4mm pop rivet for a hinge and in my experience will not last vey long.
