help with identfying a kiln

My son just purchased a kiln that was made in Kirkland, WA. The label is a little messed up so all we can see is Dallion on it. Does any one know if this is the brand name? I didn't find anything on google about it. The kiln was supposed to be for beads but the person used it for very small ceramics. Also the kiln says 120 volts, 1000 (?) watts but appears to have a 220 plug on it. Is 120 volts actually 220? Any help on this will greatly appreciated. Carol DDKITES

The plug is most likely a 20 amp plug - a ground and one vertical and one horizontal blade. See if you can read the fine printing on the plug that gives the voltage, it will say either 125 or 250 volts. The kiln may have been rewired if it clearly says 120 but the plug is 250. (Power equipment can say anything from 110 to 125 for household US power and 220-250 for double that and overseas. Plugs usually give the the high end and equipment usually gives an exact voltage at which the amps or wattage was measured - a kiln that pulled 1000 watts at 115 would pull more at 120.) Kirkland sounds familiar, but someone else will have to answer that

Northwest Art Glass is in that neighborhood. They may know something about it.
