Hi,

I went to the Skutt webpage and found a conversion chart. C183 =3D3D 818=
=3D20=3D


I also found a KS Manual kiln operating manual. I will sit down and =3D
read this. I am sure that it will answer most of my questions. =3D20

Hopefully it works! I just need to get some kiln furniture, peeps, =3D
cones, etc. and I will be ready to start firing.

Thank you for your help.

Jean
