I bought a used Skutt 231-18 cone 6 kiln in MN, before I knew I’d love to TX. The kiln got damaged in the move. I’m trying to decide if replacing the (utterly destroyed) lid is worth it.
The kiln walls are generally ok though a bit of crushing at the top when the lid was broken. The floor has some cracks and I’m not certain if the kiln will get to temperature as a result. I checked the elements, and they all heat up, though again not sure if it will get to temperature.
anyone have experience with this? The lid will cost 300-400 I think, plus shipping. A new kiln would obviously be much more.
