Dear Karen,
The little 'Kiln' baby...may just 'pull' more Amps than the line for the
'Drier' is intended for...
Sometimes the 'plugs' are a clue...when they are 'right'..as to the range of
Amps which are or will be, at play...for what is on the other 'end' of the
Cord...
If ye have an electrician friend, have them look...and see what capacity the
wires are...and the 'Breaker'...or Fuse...and how they may get along with
the requirements of the little Kiln...
Then you'll know...
Good luck!
Phil
