Just an update, but I got the kiln wired and fired it for the first time yesterday. I guess I got lucky, but it works just fine! No problems so far, and I’m doing a test firing today to make sure I got the right temp and time for firing my clay. Thanks everyone who replied, I took everyone’s advice and it definitely helped!

I’m not sure why, but for some reason I assumed that a kiln can be kept outside and be able to withstand outdoor elements (probably because I’ve seen a specially designed outdoor kiln before). That being said, my kiln stayed outside for about 2-3 weeks before I could do anything (since I wasn’t even home that whole time), and I just brought it in. It got rained on at least twice during that time, not too heavily, but I’m worried that I just ruined my kiln without ever even running it. I can’t turn it on to test it either since it hasn’t been wired properly yet (which is also a concern - spending even more money to wire it just to find out it doesn’t work..). The bricks are clearly wet and there is rust on specific parts of the kiln. I’m not sure what to do or what to think https://ibb.co/1r2GGz3 https://ibb.co/mRMV5LS https://ibb.co/hMfv65M https://ibb.co/hfGnnrw
