Kiln Fibre Board Or Brick


Babs

Recommended Posts

Just general firings to C6, electric kiln,  but may ,prob want to slow the cool with some glazes.

Transporting a fair way...

longevity,

ease of repair??

ease of replacement of elements

Used to a brick kiln but have the option here.

I'm not sure how the elements would rest in board but I would get brick as it cools slower.Better for the glazes.

Fiber is extremely brittle after fired and changing elements will be a huge issue with fiber.

I have only seen one fiber electric in my life and it was on this board from someone who posted a photo. The elements where not designed to come out if I recall.I think fiber for electric is a bad idea.

Photos not clear as only photo from catalogue.

Appears to have no elements in roof or door

Apparently fires to 1280degC

Friend had a gas fibreboard kiln. when she changed location the fibre board cracked and fell to bits..

The elements seem from the photo to be not accessible without removing the outside jacket...

Not going here I think.

Advertised as more economical firing
