neilestrick Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sorry, I was out of town since Thursday. If it's truly an unused kiln, then that's a major deal even if you find something wrong with it. When you get it home go through everything and make sure critters haven't gotten to it.

Pres Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Been firing mine for many years-no setter, just cones and switches. At $300 you have made a steal, watch for the redlights behind the truck that drops it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Will do Neil... Pres. about how much does it weigh? I might have to get a truck with a lift gate and a pallet jack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 If you plan to move it on the pallet, you will definitely need a pallet jack and lift gate. I would uncrate and disassemble it. That way you could move it in a an SUV or van. It would also give you a chance to inspect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bciskepottery Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 L&L has an extensive on-line library of manuals. You might find instructions here: http://www.hotkilns.com/pdf?field_pdfs_category_value_many_to_one=All&tid=All&field_pdfs_series_nid=All&field_pdfs_oldkilns_nid=1049&title= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Gotcha, does the controller mount to more than one ring of the kiln? what tools will I need to to take it off? The control box probably mounts to just one section, and there are jumper cords that connect the other sections to it. I would take both a phillips and slotted screwdriver to be safe. I would also take a pair of needle nose pliers and standard pliers as you may need them to get the hinge apart (cotter pins and such). It just depends on what year it was made as to what type of parts it will have on it. With those 4 tools you should be set though. L&L doesn't usually use any hex head screws, but if you have a set of nut drivers take them with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I really don't know, but figure that each of my sections weighs in at maybe 40#, 4 sections, gives me 160, then top and bottom another 35. Give or take 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I can carry the sections of those kilns by myself, and I'm not a very big guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
