I have a MeLennan Kiln which I bought from an lovely 80 year old potter. =
I did not get an owner's manual with it. I am firing it as I am writing =
this for the first time. I have read many books on firing bisque. What I =
need is an owners manual for the McLennan kiln. Does any one have one or =
know how I could get one. I have tried searching on the net, but come up =
with nothing.=20
Thanks Zara grizzmama@telus.net

Hi Zara,

I fire a McLennan Kiln. These were originally built by McLennan and Sons
in Vancouver but the business was sold 15 or 20 years ago to someone in
Maple Ridge, BC. Mac (McLennan) now lives in Victoria and is quite old
but still winds elements, very sweet man! I don't believe there are any
manuals for these kilns. If you have any specific questions I would be
happy to try and help. I do have contact info for Mac and with some
digging should be able to come up with same for new owner. Email me
privately.
