It's scary for me too! And way less economical in the UK than electric. My small electric kiln costs £5 to fire. My big (perhaps 4 times the size) gas kiln costs £70-£80.

I'd much prefer firing with wood. But I'm too suburban and firing with wood takes much more effort in prep and during firing, but it's a pleasant and exciting experience! Which gas firing is not.
