Jane,
We had one at the University in Louisiana that sat out under an unenclosed
shelter and was fine for the five years I was there. In Louisiana it is a
consistent 100% humidity and around 98 degrees for about 8 Mo.out of the
year.I hope this helps.I wouldn't be to concerned if that is the only or most
convenient place you have for the kiln.I don't think you will have any
problems with the brick.I think the switchs and other electronics will go out
form time to time no matter where it's at.
A cover when not in use may or may not hinder moisture build up or
condensation to the kiln. It would depend on how much circulation you would
have around the electric beast.
These have been my experiences. At this point, not right or wrong, just my
experiences.

Hi all,
I'm thinking of putting a Skutt 1227 outside. It will be protected by a
shed/overhang (and cover when not in use) from major weather, but humidity
down here (in Williamsburg VA) is serious--100+++. Would appreciate any
tips, thoughts, advice, from those of you with firsthand knowledge about
this-will the firebrick absorb ruinous amounts of moisture, will I have
problems with elements and controller?
TIA, damply, Jane
