Hi All:

Recently the interbox connecters on or Scurr burned out and need to be
repalced 9an anoying, but normal procedure after a number of firings) It
seems that there are no more interbox connecters (awelcome relief) and
instead you get an upgrade kit from Skutt to adapt your old boxes to a new
system, which is much better. There are a couple of problems with this new
system that Skutt has said they would fix , but my point of all this is, if
you are about to buy an new Scutt (as Lori Wilkinson may be doing) if it
were me I would want to make sure my kiln had the new system in it, or I
would have to do the upgrade anyway the first time the interbox connecter
went. Juat a suggestion.

Emily (Who just upgraded her Skutt with about 6 phone calls to her
supplier and 2 to Scutt)
