Thank you all for the very valuable advice! I learn so much from this group. I passed on the kiln and my search continues.

I am looking for a used kiln for myself (hobby hand building potter hoping to start a business in a year) and my two kids who are homeschooled and very interested in pottery. We found a used skutt 231 with a vent and shelves and furniture locally for $600. It’s very old and was purchased by current owner from an auction as it was previously used by a school system. My main question is if elements are difficult to replace, the current owner claims the dangling elements are fine “just don’t touch them” but I would feel better replacing. We plan to install this in our garage. Thank you in advance for any advice.
