kiln question
Don't know about Duncans but mine is a top loader also (name escapes me at
the moment - brain freeze!). It gets VERY hot when firing and in fact I burnt a hole through a winter coat sleeve last winter. My old kiln, I could lift the metal peep hole covers no problem with a pair of oven mitts or a cloth. Tried it with the new kiln a burnt the sleeve to my finger (ouch). My kilns are in my garage ( not attached to the house) and the kids are not allowed in there when they are firing, nor do I work in there. No venting and the heat!!!!!! Plus I am afraid of burning myself. I have never worried about extra insulation as they work fine as they are and take about 5 hours for a ^06 bisque and about 9 or 10 hours for ^6. Cool down in about 12 to 15 hours - still hot but unloadable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Penni Stoddart of Penelope's Pots Full Time Education Assistant, Part Time Potter Sometimes we just need to remember what the rules of life really are... You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. |
