Roxanne, it is dangerous to use moth balls in kilns. I do not recommend it.
I know of people who have successfully reduced in an electric kiln using a
sagger to contain the reduction atmosphere. However, subjecting elements to
a reduced atmosphere will shorten their life.

I got a Skutt with the special elements that allow me to fire consistantly
to Cone 10. They are coated, I believe. (KM-1227PK, 9.92 cu. ft. 240V: 60
Amps, 14300 Watts Cone 10, 2350 degrees)
Would these special elements allow me to somewhat safely apply a bit of
reduction, like with moth balls? Or would this damage the elements?
