SETTING UP THE KILN
1) Place the stand in your desired location making
sure to face the flexible duck work toward the wall
that the kiln will be vented through .
2) You're now going to build the kiln from the bottom
up .
3) Place the bottom of the kiln on the kiln stand, make
sure the holes for the vent line up with the large 3"
hole on the kiln stand . Center the bottom brick on
the stand . It is not critical how the polygonal brick is
oriented to the square stand .
4) LEVEL THE KILN NOW! Do this before pro-
ceeding because at this point it is easy to put a level on
the flat bottom . Use metal shims under the legs to ac-
complish the leveling . We suggest using a carpenter's
level for this job . Make sure that the base will not
wobble .
WHY IS LEVELING SO
IMPORTANT?
If the stand and the bottom are not level your
kiln shelves will not be level and loading will be
difficult . Kiln shelves loaded with ceramic ware
are like a house of cards to begin with - don’t
make it any harder!
Also - an uneven floor will quickly become a
cracked floor . There should be equal support
under each leg of the stand so the floor does not
rock back and forth .
Be patient about doing this right as you are as-
sembling the kiln . Once you have put the kiln
sections on the bottom of the kiln you will not
feel like taking it off - so it is important to have
this base be level to start with .
5) Place the kiln section with the #5 & #6 on the ther-
mocouple wire on top of the kiln stand (this will not
exist for an e23S or e28S so skip to the next step if
you have one of those kilns) .
