Cher, et al....
WHY ASK US? I'm serious. Why? No clue where you are and what the codes and
fire-laws are there, and what your insurer says. I'm extremely fair skinned
by nature, but totally indigo-faced on this topic.
The people who made your electric kiln will tell you--with experience behind
them--whether THAT model MADE BY THEM requires particular wiring.
A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN will tell you what the local codes demand. Your fire
code also many have requirements. Your INSURER will tell you what and how
and so on is covered....
It ain't you, Cher. But there is a prevalent spirit as exhibited recently
in Jewett NY that them that has kilns/builds kilns are protected by some
sort of angel, and can overlook mere-mortal details. I'm the world's most
dedicated dumpster-diver and do-it-yourselfer. But not when it comes to
matters like taking risks with my house and life because I wanted to save on
the electrician.....
As someone suggested, you well may need a bigger "entrance" as the lingo is:
more juice coming into your house altogether. You may not want your
appliances to have to be turned off before you can fire.
As we all know you have gone through one hell of a time recently...But
don't risk extending time by taking electrical short-cuts! (Short circuits?)
