Ah ok, yes I believe the bricks are 2.5", they are definitely smaller than my other kiln. The serial plate on this kiln says that the max temperature is 2200 F.

Hello, I just bought an Evenheat Model 810 Kiln, that is rated for 18 amps and 120 volts. I have a very similar kiln that puts out about the same kilowatt hours and can fire to cone 6, so I thought this kiln would be able to fire to Cone 6, but I tried firing to Cone 6 and it was running for 13 hours and never got over 1800 degrees F. Both elements were on and seemed to be working just fine. Is there a reason why this kiln wouldn't be able to do that or could there be an issue with the kiln's elements? Also I have tested the kiln sitter with a pyrometric bar and it worked fine at cone 019. Thanks!

OK thank you so much!

Yes, that's what I meant. Ok that makes sense, thank you so much! Is there any instance where I would need a plug? Or is best to just leave the peep hole open at all times?

Hello! I have recently purchased a test kiln and it did not come with a plug or kiln sitter. I was thinking about buying a digital thermocouple to use (instead of/in addition to witness cones) and I wanted to know if I needed a plug if I am going to use the digital thermocouple in the peep hole? I guess what I'm getting at is does the digital thermocouple act as the plug? Thank you!
