Diy Kiln

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get the parts to build a custom kiln. I'm looking for fire bricks, heating elements, and the holders for the elements so that they can be hung from the lid. also any free instructions or suggestions. I'm looking to build a 3' x 4' x 10" kiln.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
