Problem: Solenoid crash.
Solution: Get new solenoid. NOT GOOD enough!
Can someone out there explain what and how these little puppies operate and
why they are a feature on so many manufacture gas kilns.
FYI: upon removal, the really pretty blue colored plastic housing was
green and crumbly on the inside and fractured on the outside. No David! -
I did not taste it! A least not yet!

Anyway, the pieces were too large for the wood kiln. I am going to build
me a bigger wood kiln as soon as the temperature changes in West Texas?


Thanks,
Xris
