I have a cone 10, electric kiln for sale. It is a Crusader and I=92ve had i=
t
for years but it sat unused for at least ten years while the kids grew up.
The kiln is model 274S, 42 amps, 240 volts, 10.1 K.W., Phase 1, Serial no
B266. It is rated as cone 10 - not above 2361 degrees F. I fired it to
cone 5 or 6.
It has new elements installed last July and used no more than a dozen
times. The elements were made by Kilns Service and Sales in Valley
Cottage, New York. Freddy, Alfred University=92s kiln guru, recommended thi=
s
company.
The interior is 27 inches high and 23 inches wide.
I have two kiln bottoms and you can select whichever looks best to you.
The Crusader has a huge lid hinge and handle. The kiln looks used but
works fine. There are two broken bricks in the bottom but the elements
have stayed in place so repair doesn't seem to be critical.
The kiln came with a Dawson kiln sitter but I used it with an Orton
Autofire Unitemp System. The Unitemp has a key pad - the digital brains
of the unit. The key pad hangs on the wall, away from the heat. It plugs
into a controller on the kiln and is connected to two thermocouples. I
have one key pad but plug it into whichever kiln I want to use.
The kiln sitter has been reinstalled on the kiln but if you have an Orton
system and want to be able to use it with this kiln it is possible to put
an Orton compatible unit on the kiln. The unit on the kiln only works if
you have the computer/keypad/unit to plug into it.
The price of the kiln with the kiln sitter is $350 and it is located in
Western New York. Please email if you are interested. I can send
specifics and photos.
