Larry,
For right now, I'm definitely only working with a very small (MAPP) torch with Hot Head, as well as the world's tiniest, cruddiest kiln (someday, I will get a real kiln. Someday. Oh, yes. But that day is not today.)
As far as enamels go, for right now, I'm only planning on using the immersion method (a.k.a. Painting With Fire), which (I'm told) is less of a big deal on the ventilation front than sifting. Though it's crazy to think that I did LOADS of sifting as a child, and no one thought of this ventilation stuff! I do have a respirator mask, for use while sifting.
That Place-A-Vent looks pretty amazing for my needs, but there aren't any pictures of how it actually exhausts; would I be able to put it in a standard push-up window?
