Traceymeek Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I bought my top loader electric kiln secondhand and it came with a stand that has always seemed a bit too small. Some of the bricks have started crumbling and while it’s working, i feel like it’s not happy on this stand. I’ve alwys had the stand on top of a paving slab and I’m wondering if I can get a few household bricks and use them and the slab instead of the stand? I’ve got some of the basic engineering bricks with holes in. Would this be okay? Using it in my house so I’m quite nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 The kiln needs air flow under it so you don't overheat the floor, and the bottom of the kiln should be at least as far from the floor as the stand makes it, usually about 8 inches. Cinder blocks work, but you have to orient them so the holes are facing horizontal, so air can flow through them. Or you can put a sturdy piece of sheet metal under the kiln, on the stand, to support the crumbling bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
