<p>I was surfing the internet and came across a foreign site that had a wood fired raku kiln built out of a barrel drum and it got me thinking that I could do that. I began researching it a little bit more and it brought up some questions about the quickest and best ways of piecing it together. I came to the conclusion that I could piece it together and rivet it together with steel rivets. Is that feasible? From my research steel can resist temperatures of up to 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. Am I miscalculating things because if I'm not it seems a lot easier than using ceramic buttons or silica to seal the fire fiber to the walls of the drum. Comments please!!</p>
