    You don't have enough posts yes to post pics probably. Think you need 10 before posting pics

    That's an odd thing. Picking up a kiln tomorrow that I'm going to retrofit into a forced air casting furnace. A RAKU KILN that I found online.

    Does seem weird at first. And I can't speak for the admins but pretty sure it's designed to limit how disruptive spam bots that successfully register can be and to prevent embedding pics with malware. Figure once people participate for a short while, it's less likely they're up to no good. Inconvenient at first but join a few conversations and you'll be able post pics in no time. Looking forward to following your kiln adventure!

    Plus this forum gets addicting. I check it everyday, sometimes twice a day. I wish this forum had an app.

    Just got back from picking up my kiln.
    The man selling it is a Minister of a church.
    After chatting with him, it only cost me $20.00
    SCORE!!!

    You need to hurry and post a bunch of comments so you can post a pic of it.

    Or there could really be an app. I'll let you figure it out.

    I had just bought a single fire brick from a local supplier. Hoping to get info on it.
    They tell me it is used for pizza ovens. It is 9"×4.5"×1.25" and it's heavy for its size...

    Am sure there are folks here who are following them but have yet to overhear their name even in passing! And how are you trying to post pics? What site are you embedding them from?

    I believe the 10 posts requirement is a myth. Last week, I saw a new member with 2 posts, post a pic.

    So is the app.

    Next mythbusters...is there an App and do you need ten posts to post a picture? The season finale will explore just how many posts you need to send private messages.

    This post brought to you by several goats. Which for the record is hard to do as goats tend to wonder as they walk.

    I'm trying to post from this site. The picture frame icon between the globe and the film reel but it requires a URL. So I try advanced and hit the paper clip icon and it opens another window saying that I don't have access.

    Sounds like a ceramic fire brick, pizza oven bricks are usually rated around 2000f same as fireplaces, it's a little light for your application the sides of your furnace will still get smoking hot, but won't get cherry red.

    Just a test.
    Primitive set up for posting. Not cell friendly at all lol. Won't allow me to post camera pics but downloads and screenshots are ok.
    This is the kiln I picked up...
