Ok guys, I am planning to build an oven sometime in the (hopefully near) future. I have read a lot of Juan's thread about his oven and it turned out awesome. I would like to do a similar structure, but switch out the heat source with gas. I was also hoping to see what it would take to build the oven up to spec to do ceramics (this would just be a plus, not a necessity).
Now I have some questions on what the requirements are for gas fired Powder ovens. How does the flame need to be separated from the inner area? Are flue gasses ok to come in contact with the curing fumes? I know there can't be a direct open flame in the oven chamber (with the parts). But just for sake of clarity, If I had a setup like below, would this cause an explosion? If that would be the case, I was thinking I could run two separate sets of burners. One set inside the oven to bring it up to temp QUICK, load the parts, then another set not in the oven chamber to maintain the temp. My dad is an engineer and has offered to help with designing/building this. As long as I get my facts straight so we can figure out how things need to be setup. Thanks in advance for all the help
