Sunnyside Toad Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Hi! I want to get a kiln for my apartment in Washington and was wondering what would be the best placement for a kiln? I have an outside patio that is open so I was thinking that might be the best way to go? I read that I would cover for weathering purposes and not sure how to ventilate for safety. how would ventilation work and if that would be the safest place to put it? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 You should only put it in an outdoor location if you can ensure that the weather isn't going to change during the entire firing process, which could be a full 24 to 36 hours depending on the size of the kiln, because you can't cover it until it is completely cooled. I'm also not a big fan of having coverings over kilns in humid locations because you'll get a lot of corrosion, and there could be issues with the controller. Security is also an issue. Do your apartment rules allow for a kiln? Do you rent? Can you run an electrical line out there? What size kiln are you considering getting?
