[Jewelry making - Article 01335] - [Orchid] Inert environment in the kiln

Hi everybody,

    Maybe anyone can help me to make a decision - I was considering how
    should I prepare my kiln for mokume. It is not manufactured for
    making inert gas environment in it and I can't imagine how does this
    system look, but I have heard that instead of this people use
    charcoal. I guess these are two incomparable things so I don't know
    what would be better for me as the beginner. What is the prise for
    preparing the kiln that it would be possible to make inert
    environment in it, maybe I can do it myself? if Yes, how it is done?
    And what are the differences between making billet in that
    environment and surrounded by charcoal as Mr. Binnion does. I mean
    maybe anyone could explain what happens after burning the billet,
    what are the consequences in both situations, and is there a big
    difference in results using one and another technique. Thank You in
    advance! 

Best regards,
Giedrius
