Prepare the Salt Pot Ground Lug
Your salt pot must be at least 4” deeper than the chamber depth (9” chamber depth means minimum 13” pot depth, 18” chamber depth means minimum 22” pot
depth) and be fitted with a grounding lug. Salt pots purchased from Evenheat will meet these specifications. If you intend to provide your own salt pot you must
provide for an electrically conductive grounding lug.
The salt pot must also be clean as well.
Remove any grease, oils or other contaminants before using
.
Salt pots should include a 0.250” hole, 0.750” from the top of the
pot. This hole is designed to fit ¼-20 hardware for the grounding lug.

Evenheat 4” and 6” salt pots,
either 13” or 22” deep.
Placing the Salt Pot into the Chamber
Pull the Over-temp and Chamber thermocouples out of the chamber enough so that they’re not visible as you look down into the kiln chamber. This just gets them
out of harm’s way as you place the salt pot within the chamber.
Carefully place the salt pot into the firing chamber taking care not to bang up the walls while doing so. Center the salt pot as best you can with the grounding lug
facing the left.
Salt pot generally centered with grounding lug to the left.
