I received a new kiln as a gift...Olympic 1414HE. Firing box is about 1.4 cu ft. Vent kits are REALLY pricey, so I'm putting one together. I have a question about the blower motor. The Orton vent kit (recommended for this kiln by the manufacturer) comes with a 73 cfm motor. The Skutt kit comes with a 140cfm motor. Does any one have an opinion on which blower motor might do the job? Thanks in advance.

Thank you Neal

I am new to clay firing. My teacher gave me a used Paragon kiln. I will be checking it for lead residue, and I have another question: The Instruction and Service Manual said these come equipped with a PROP-R-VENT latch used for venting. Mine does not have this. I see they are available to purchase, my question is wether this is necessary. Thank you for any info.
