    Kilns 101

    The elements are nichrome Nickel /chrome. also the kiln sitter rod.

    inside the main switch box is a large circuit block the contacts are large and used to be solid silver. now they are probably plated.

    there is heavy insulated wire in the switch box. old ones are insulated with asbestos. also all the wire is Hi-temp wire.



    heavy duty power cord

    kilnsitter box has a contact block.

    kiln sitter is sale-able

    newer models have an automatic system with a board that should be hi grade.

    they are an easy fix.

    different kilns are built for different temps. 1500 deg to 2400 dg. face plate will tell you.

    old kilns arte almost impossable to ship with out damage.

    CARD BOARD BETWEEN EACH SECTION HELPS.

    ask specific questions and I can probably help you.

    I'vebuilt about every kind of kiln emaginable including one on a trailer 880 volts. for a defense contractor.
