As much as I value you opinion but there is nothing which saves more energy than a proper vent heat exchanging system. We have air/liquid heat exchangers which are maintenance free and super efficient. Our continuous kilns without heat exchangers are as energy efficient as any CDK. With heat exchangers we are up to 25% more efficient. So I suggest you wait until we have the first kilns up and running in Maine and you come and for the first time in your life see a real kiln.
So long,
Ingo
