This is a useful addition to the small number of books on kilns and their making. It fills in some of the gaps left by Rhodes in his book, Kilns: ign, Construction, and Operation (Pg. 161). Specifically, the chapter on fuels gives more complete information on how to calculate and meet your gas needs. The reader should be wary of Olsen’s gas requirements which he admits are low and which seem to me unrealistic.
The book is technical and contains a lot of factual information for the already-initiated kiln builder. But for the “would-be’s” it is not encouraging. Still needed is a step-by-step how-to-do-it book for the potter with no engineering background.
