Hi all!

This kiln design has elements on three walls and not the door. How is this
likely to effect even heating.

Kiln Specs:
24" wide x 24" deep x 27" tall,
9 cubic foot interior
4" walls and top, 4 ½" bottom
Mercury relays
Digital controller
1/4" diameter type K thermocouple
Two tapered peepholes in side,
1” vent hole in top
28" tall, heavy duty stand included
240 & 208 volt, 1 & 3 phase
240 volt, 1 phase model:
69 amps, 16,500 watts;
80 amp circuit breaker required

Thanks, Candise in San Diego
