SoCalBoomer Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hi all Yes - first post. Sorry to be asking right away but I've not been able to find anything on this. My wife found and purchased a Slipmaster King Carl kiln with a KilnSitter on it. It's not in bad shape - will have to replace some bricks and all of the coils. I wondered if anyone had any place to get info on these kilns? I've been doing Internet searches (I'm typically pretty good at them - I'm an IT guy so I typically live on search engines) and if I put King Carl in there, I get returns about how King Carl of Copenhagen is not letting his children out (probably wise), and it seems that Slipmaster went out of business. I'm planning on tearing it way down anyway, but wiring information would be nice. Any directional pointing would be nice! I'm happy to do research, but fruitless ones are frustrating! Thanks and Cheers! Mike (SoCalBoomer) Bill Kielb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark C. Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) IT guy I'm not a It guy just a potter who has been around (potter nor-cal boomer) That kiln I think was made by slipmaster sugar creek industries put that in your search engine and you will see that make/made slip equipment for many decades. They would know that kiln inside out-Now as to Karl King he lives in Copenhagen and is not letting his kilns run free. I am old enough to know about sugar creek as I like cookies back in the day and also bought a few things from them back when nets where made for catching fish not surfing with. Hope this fairy tale ends well for all -cowabunga oh ya welcome aboard matey hope this info helps ye thar she blows and blow the man down Edited April 15, 2020 by Mark C.

neilestrick Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 You probably won't find any info on it, but Euclids will be able to make elements for it, and can probably help with bricks, too. They'll need all the info from the serial plate, as well as kiln dimensions and element groove size and spacing. SoCalBoomer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalBoomer Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Thank you! (and especially Mark C for his little fairy tale! ) (except that searching for slipmaster sugar creek industries shows they are out of business - everything is just a placeholder.)

liambesaw Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Kilns are very simple machines, so even if your manufacturer is dead and gone, there's very little to a kiln. Easy to get replacement parts and the information is the same across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystenC Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I also have an inherited Good Kiln/ Slipmaster - King Carl kiln manufactured by Sugar Creek Industries, Inc. I am looking for a manual for this kiln. I have searched online with no success. Does anyone have one or know a good resource for located one? Thanks so much!

neilestrick Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Most manual kilns fire the same way. What controls/switches does your kiln have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Bear Ceramics and welcome to the forum. @CrystenC hasn't been on the forum since posting her question about the manual for the Slipmaster kiln. If you click on her avatar it will take you to her page where there will be a little envelope at the top. Click on that and you can send her a pm, she will get an email letting her know she has a message. Very helpful of you to share the info.
