What very thorough and helpful description, thank you for sharing it so
fluently.
Don't fall in the kiln!

Is it necessary to encase or protect a gas line? I have a flex gas line
going about 20' to my heater. It runs on the ceiling slab ceiling, a
low ceiling, 6'7", attached with metal clamps (and plastic ties too,
right, will need to be fixed) four feet from the ceiling/wall corner,
and runs above the area where I would locate my kiln. The kiln can go
about five feet from it laterally, xy, but would still be probably from
4-9 feet diagonally from the top of a kiln, depending where I place it.

How unsafe is it to have an electric kiln located below a gas line?
