[New L & L kiln -- first glaze load very overfired]

Hello!

I just did my first firing for my new easy fire 18t3 and think it over fired as well. 

Neil what do you mean by “Just be sure to set the last 200F degrees to a rate of 108F/hr”. How do I do that?  
 

thanks!

Thanks Neil.  

6-50 CORDS - Are all 6-50 kiln cord sets the same?  In my very uneducated opinion - I think they are - basically they all can handle 60 amps and are rated for high heat.  Paragon, Skutt, to L&L, they all have their own of course. But there is such a disparity on cost.   Right now, I am working on a really tight budget.  I saw a 6-50 cord for Skutt on sale.  Can I get this and install on my old econokiln? 

GROUNDING - I was told that I need to ground the kiln's chassis to an actual earth ground.  How do I do this?  Connect a grounding wire from kiln to water heater?

Thanks!

Hello CAN Community!

I have a manual kiln with switches and a kilnsitter - Econokiln (L&L) from the 70's.  It has a NEMA 10-50 cord.  I've recently moved and need to get the 10-50 receptacle put in.  Before doing this, I figured I would look into going digital, so I reached out to a local kiln repair person to see if he could upgrade my kiln to digital using bartlett controller or something similar. He mentioned he has a kilnmaster controller that someone gave him and he would give it to me to use.  The only thing is that it is Nema 6-50.  He said that i can swap out the 10-50 cord and put in a 6-50 one in my kiln since both have 3 wires.  

Can I do this?  I 10-50 have 2 hot and a neutral terminal. 6-50 is 2 hot and a ground terminal.  Ground and neutral are different, so how could this work?  I just don't know anything about this subject.

I appreciate any information you can give me.
