sno-kiln question

Hi all,
My friend has a sno-kiln with two switches and three positions(low,
medium, and high) and he has NO documentation whatsoever since he bought it
second hand. We would like to know what temperature it would fire to, if
anyone has any idea that is. The woman he bought it from used it as a
bisque kiln for slip-ware and that is all we know.
TIA,
Becky Lowery

it second hand and was not sure I could fire to cone 10. The description
sounds just like mine. Two dials, both with lo med. hi. I was advised by
someone on Clayart not to fire it to cone 10 if I wanted to keep it in
decent shape so I'm takng that advice. I don't know what would happen if
you did it occasionally. I do not have any documentation or I would
share it with you. lauras@epix.net in PA

P.S. Sno Kiln is out of business
