Hey everyone-
Thanks for the info on the charger plates!!! One more question. I've come across a deal that will probably never surface again. A woman is selling a skutt electric kiln for $250 that she bought 10 years ago for $500. She unfortunately never ended up using it because she went and had a family, etc etc. She kept it in excellent shape, never putting anything on top and in a dry basement. It only needs the top element replaced. I would end up adding a ring to it to add to the height, but I don't know how much that or the element costs. I'm thinking that this would be a good deal in the long run, but I just want some professional opinions before I make the purchase. What are your ideas? She seems extremely trust worthy and kind.
Thanks!!!!!!
Amanda

If the kiln is in new condition, $250 is a good price. You should make sure
you have the correct voltage and electrical capacity before buying the kiln.

Element: about $35
Installation (if it's your first try): 1 hour.
blank ring: free from some totally trashed kiln.
Wiring around it (since blank rings need to go
in the middle): maybe an hour or two once you have
the parts, or hire someone. Use the remains of the
wiring in the old (formerly powered) ring to wire
straight up and connect between the middle and
top rings.
A powered ring is whole different ballgame, and
will require full rewiring of the controls. I
believe L&L makes a kiln that can have powered
rings added more easily than most, but it's still
a can of worms.
(Having a really nice kiln: priceless!)
