I must correct you Bill. The L&L kiln vent does not require you to drill
holes in the lid of the kiln. There are other ways for oxygen to enter the
kiln. Also the L&L vent sure is mounted away from the kiln which is a great
feature.
I can tell you that since I've been selling L&L kilns and their Vent-Sure
system, I don't receive any complaints. Thats because they make an Excellent
Kiln. Don't trust my word, check the Vent Sure system out for yourself at

Does this L&L vent have the motor attached to the hose away from the
kiln? I think I looked at an L&L vent and decided to get the Bailey's
vent because it didn't require drilling holes in the lid. The exhaust
hose is attached to the wall near the bottom of the kiln with a
slight air gap at the attachment point. This draws in some exterior
air that seems to cool what comes out of the kiln. The motor is
mounted away from the kiln which also keeps it cooler.
I would think you'd want to draw more air from the kiln during early
stages when water vapor is released and later, when organics are
burning out.
