Kiln construction news

The frozen ground and dry weather enabled work to continue today.

Kiln construction showing completed 10th course of bricksThe 10th course is complete (see larger image) and the kiln ready to take the castable above the fire box arch. We just need a day where the temperature stays above 5 degrees!

Detail of brick work above fire box archShaping the bricks to fit around the fire box arch was more time consuming than anticipated and in the process of building the 3 walls it was discovered that the arch is a little higher at the front of the kiln.
