FA: "Electric Kilns" by Harry Fraser Build 'em, buy 'em, or maintain em
There is almost nothing you can do with a gas or other fuel kiln that you can't do with an electric kiln. In many countries such as Japan, electric kilns are the most common kilns for studio potters and sculptors. "Electric Kilns" by Harry Fraser is a hard cover, detailed guide to buying, building, and firing electric kilns. It contains over 71 photographs, diagrams drawings and tables. Chapter 4 features the manual "Making Studio Electric Kilns" by Laurance E. Webber, Center for Industrial and Institutional Development, University of New Hampshire, originally published in 1947. Published in New York by Watson-Guptill Publications in 1974, the book has 144 pages. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT |

Steve, My attorney advises me that I am fully covered by the "almost" clause -- as in "There is ALMOST nothing you can do," etc. Just kidding . . . You are of course, correct.

With the possible exception of Japan (see previous thread), Electric Kilns in other parts of the world have comparatively frail elements which can be seriously degraded by inducing a reduction atmosphere. I have yet to hear of anyone doing Salt firing in an Electric Kiln. Steve Bath UK "Electric Kilns" by Harry Fraser is a hard cover, detailed guide to buying, building, and firing electric kilns.
