Snail,
Would it not be safer to just unplug/flip the breaker on the kiln and use a
propane torch to heat the element to red heat. Then use a pair of pliers to
guide the element back into the grove rather than trying to cram it in with
a piece of wood which will be smoking from the hot element. At this point
you may pin the element in place with another set of pliers if required.
Just a thought,
Rod
Possibly. Heat it to red heat, turn the kiln off,
then use a piece of wood to push the element back
into its track while it's still hot. If it still
doesn't stay, use an element pin to keep it in place.
