Rosie_03 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Kiln Photo here - I can’t figure out how to resize it to post It uses a 240v plug and 50 amp circuit. I believe the elements need to be replaced - just due to long bisque and glaze fires - and a serial number would help me with buying replacement elements. I ~think~ it may be a Skutt but I’m really unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Not a Skutt..what's the plate at the bottom say? 50 amp circuit based on what info? The Sitter info is not the draw of the kiln, just the max the Sitter can handle. What are the dimensions of the kiln- how many sides and how deep?

neilestrick Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I can make out the name on the bottom plate I think. JenKen? They're still around, give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 JenKen will be able to tell you what model it is and what elements you need. They'll also be able to tell you the actual amperage draw. By code, the kiln should be on a circuit that is 25% greater than the draw but no more than 50% greater. Judging from the photo it appears to be an 8 sided kiln, 18 inches tall? If so, chances are it needs a breaker in the 30-40 amp range.
