Marcia asked about wall coverings to prevent a kiln from catching a
house on fire. Most people use sheet rock. Keep the kiln at least
12" away from the walls.
Several other suggestions on electric kiln safety:
1. Disconnect the power from the kiln when the kiln is not in use.
It would be easy for a child to turn on a kiln, especially digital,
when a parent is not around.
2. Keep the kiln lid closed when not in use.
3. Remove flammable materials such as paint cans, gasoline, lawn
mower, etc., from the firing room. If firing in a garage, pull the
car out when firing the kiln.
