$100 Ceramic Fiber Insulation: [ Ссылка ]
$25 Propane Torch: [ Ссылка ]
Full propane tanks run about $45 where I'm at, and it's $15 for a refill.

All told, if you buy everything at retail costs, you might have to spend $200, but you can make a bigger kiln than mine or two smaller kilns. Only the insulation and the torch are absolutely essential, one-time purchases. $15 worth of propane lasts about ten firings in my experience. In any case, the exciting thing is that it allows you to fire as many pots as you want, when you could spend $50 just to fire three small pieces in a rented raku kiln. I hope you'll excuse my fudging the numbers a little bit in the video title--I really did spend under $150 on this setup.
I've been experimenting with raku pottery recently, using this little kiln I made myself. If you're interested in being more self-sufficient and independent in your pottery, but can't afford an expensive kiln, this is a great way to have a lot of fun firing pots, learning about the process, and creating truly beautiful and unique pieces of art.
