This past weekend I spent most of Saturday installing a vent system for my kiln. I attached the Vent Master to the wall and then put some metal tubes up through the ceiling of the garage, across the attic a few feet and then out the back of the house through the soffit. The hardest part was squeezing up into the corner of the attic while trying to stay on the boards that I laid across the joists. And I didn’t fall through the ceiling or impale my head on the nails sticking through the roof so I would say that it was a successful venture just staying alive. But I got everything connected and sealed up so the next time I fire I should be able to vent the kiln without running a tube out through the door. I guess we’ll see what happens… And if you didn’t notice, I learned how to put hyperlinks in my post! If you aren’t sure what a soffit or a joist is you can click on the words to find out. (I had to look them up to be sure that I had the right term myself). Below you can see some pictures of the new vent system:
