Ha, yep blame it on the Duco!  We may need to do some talking on that k-wool El Destructo.  If nothing else, sounds like it would make your current kiln alot more efficient.

Check Craigslist I have seen a lot of used kilns go real cheap in my area.  If you plan to cook a lot of rock invest in a computerized controller. You will pay for it real quick if your blowing up rock. If you get a controller there is nor reason to switch it to 120.  there is no economic advantage to using 120 or 240.   Volts x amps = kilowatts. I put a meter on my kiln and it doesn t use much electric, (With a controller), without a controller you will use more electric.

yea caveman i priced the controllers they run about $700 bucks. thats a little outa my price range right now.
 My big thing is getting this kiln working. I'll save money if i rewire the kiln to 110 because it would cost me more to pay an electrician to run a new wire from my breaker for a 220 outlet.

Jess,
 I got a controller from a guy on  ebay I can find him for you, it only cost about 175 with all the parts and the program.   You need an old pc (win, 95, 98 or xp)  to run it and work the program, 
Set it and forget it. Its the best thing I have ever done.  I know many knappers have this setup and just love it.
