Well, question number 1 is what kind of firing do you want to do? There's no point considering anything else until you answer that. The kiln is designed with the goal of producing the desired work. Fuel and size come secondary.
There's a nice little book (http://www.amazon.com/Building-Your-Own-Kiln-Instructions/dp/477002973X) which has three outlines for three different kinds of kilns. The third is a small cone 10, rocket type burner propane fueled kiln. I've been meaning to build one for years similar to it so that I can do some salt firing.
There's also a metric shit tonne of resources on the web for building a raku kiln out of a garbage can or expanded metal lathe.
So, what kind of firing do you want to do?
