manual kiln use

Have you checked with Skutt? They almost certainly will have the manual. It may even be uploaded to their website. Congratulations on your great find! Gaye

[There's no big difference between an electronic kiln and yours. All you need to do is to put an electronic controller between your kiln and its power supply. You can get them with the same plugs as your kiln: the controller plugs into the wall, the kiln plugs into the controller. You just turn your kiln up to "high" and let the controller do its thing, ramping the heat up in a controlled way and holding a certain amount of time at a preset temperature before shutting off. This beats sitting up all night goosing the thing up, and resolves a lot of problems in the glazes. You can use your kiln-sitter as a fail-safe, to make sure the kiln shuts off at some point. Put a cone in several cones up from your target temperature.]

I also have this kiln that I just had wired. I have been up and down the skutt website and cannot find info about it. Have you had any luck since you posted? If so, could you please email the the info at snipped-for-privacy@aol.com. Thanks. Pam
