How to make a kiln?
Or you can use a closed-door fireplace as a kiln for ceramics? If so, you need it to paint before you put it there? Can You Paint It?
If you do not want to use an oven should look up "pitfiring" There are many websites on this topic. While it is possible to build your own kiln, it is not easy to do – at least not to build a good oven – and there are already a number of Books on the topic. I would recommend reading one of them, before you think the construction of a kiln. An example of such a book is: http://www.amazon.com/Kiln-Book-Materials-Specifications-Construction/dp/0873419103
