Eco-friendly Wood-Firing

[@travismaxwell9805]

He did not share many tips, but did a good job of showing what is possible. I was able to see a few practices that has helped me out. He uses a small stoke hole for part of the firing. Depending on the kiln, opening the stoke door loses a lot of heat, so having a large and small stoke hole is important. With the small stoke hole, you can make minor adjustments to air/fuel ratio that keeps the main chamber efficient. I use this technique to hold temp while salting. Another good technique he is using later in the firing is he stuffs his stoke hole with wood which will dry the wood before it ignites. I plan to build a more efficient wood kiln this year starting with a small scale, rocket kiln then keep scaling up.

This is really amazing, I love how encouraging he is about sharing the knowledge other ceramicists, no gatekeepy stuff, purely driven by the passion he has. Even at the start of the video I knew this was a unique method, but the stuff about the mother glaze blew me away, made me kind of emotional seeing a new discovery that moves away from the modern limitations of electric kilns. Really really incredible.

How about sharing a few of the techniques or kiln design.... or secondary air technique.... nothing shared !

[@ohvnaq]

this is interesting and i wish he shared the design of the kiln

[@timothyhowie6171]

That's a big chimney drawing lots of air. Perhaps that is his secret weapon

[@die_lit_aoat]

But does it come with Galvanized steel ??!

[@alexforget]

There is not a lot of real information there. What would make sense to try: - post-combustion (introduce air in a chamber after the pot’s chamber) - pre-heat intake air with the post-combustion/chimney heat - super insulate the whole kiln - manage the fuel/air mixture as to have better efficiency while keeping a reduction atmosphere

[@delsonmartin9166]

Some Literature about those kinds of firings guys please? :)

[@tatianamunozmelo7974]

Helo :) Thank you very much for sharing this! I'm designing a smokless kiln but I'm not sure if it's going to work perfectly. Do you maybe have plans of you oven that you can share or can I share my plans with you to know your opinion? That would be wonderful. Huge hug

Moving to Taiwan to meet the Master ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very important video!

[@ltruelove3907]

I am going to use this method moving forward.

[@patrickbass3542]

WHAT "method"?

[@Projekt_Ognik]

Many greetings - how can I contact with Master Lin Rui-hua - I have little bit experience to share with saving wood in woodfireing cerqamics. Best regards

いいねー流石

[@BoddhisattaHoja]

I can't understand how burning 3 tons of wood is considered eco-friendly in any way.

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

theres nothing new about secondary combustion. Top end domestic woodburning stoves ustilise it, and the most efficient steam train boilers used it too

[@nedludd8633]

So where is the information on the Eco- Friendly Design ? Its strange how there seems to be almost no detailed designs of kilns freely available . A few books Olson fast fire , Joe Finch improvement to Olsons design and one or two others .

The world hates a "know-it-all".
