Noting the recent discussion on elements I offer this suggestion: When you
are planning to replace elements coat the new ones with a special metal
coating made by International Technical Ceramics called ITC 213. I am using
it on elements in a small AIM test kiln in which I routinely fire to cone
ten reduction (with propane).

OK, Tony! Did I read this right? You are firing an electric kiln,
(working elements, coated with ITC); to ^10 with propane. How? You must
have cut a burner port? How large? Exacely where? How did you avoid
cutting the elements and how do you seal the opening when firing electric?
Would a raku burner work? How large a propane tank is required to reach
^10? Small? What size exactly? Maybe I don't need a kiln shed, huge
expensive fuel burning kiln, etc to fire to ^10 reduction only
occasionally. It's an idea worth exploring.

I'm exremely interested in this idea also. Is it possible?
How much fuel is needed to go to ^10(propane that is)? I
have an old elec. kiln I'm using to do raku and low fire salt
that could also be used for this? Way cool!

Very little fuel is needed for my one cube test kiln. My five gallon
propane tank probably handles 30 reduction firings. Just spray the inside
with ITC 100 and enjoy yourself.
