  1. In Topic: Suitable clay body for grill

    Posted 12 Nov 2012

    Sorry one more thing, I was not looking to do the grilling surface out of ceramic, just the body of the enclosure.

    Thanks again

    Dave

    Thank you every one for the input.


    I will attempt to explain this a bit better. This would be a wood pellet grill, were small amounts of wood pellets are feed into a burner pot. Something like a table spoon every minute. The burner pot its self is typicaly a separate part about the size of a coffee cup and can be held off the clay surface. So one advantage is that there would be no burning fuel against the body. Also the burner pot requires combustion air from a blower so the heat is circulated fairly evenly thru out the enclosure.


    Yes the Egg type BBQ grill is along the lines I was thinking of, but laid on its side. Think of a propane tank laid on its side and split horizontaly so the top is a lid.


    I was hoping the exterior would be appealing.

    I am working on BBQ. I have met with engineers from refractory companies.
    First get yourself powered refractory brick clay
    make a slip and pour it into a mold.

    Then you will need to have a digital controller on your kiln
    fire it raising it to 50 degrees each hour for about 9 to ten hours. (this depends on your kiln)
    Then glaze it and refire at cone 6 for your glaze.
    Without a digital controller you can not get it to proper refractory temp


    I am also experimenting with raku clay and refractory clay. This I am told should also work.
