Does this come with any shelves, peep hole plugs or stand

It comes with a kiln stand, but rolling kiln stand, shelves, and peep hole plugs are sold separately. 

How long is the power cord for 30184-WDC-240?

Our kilns come with 6 feet of cord, and the option to add more at $20 per foot.

Hi there, can you tell me how long the power cable is for this kiln?

All kilns come with 6 feet of cord, and the option to add more for $20 per foot.

I am considering this kiln to use in my garage. I have a 30 amp dryer breaker and a NEMA 10-30 plug. How long is the cable for the kiln? I would need to plug it in behind the dryer and I need to leave at least a foot of space between the kiln and anything else in the room so I would like to make sure the cable is long enough to allow for this. I imagine that I would need a cable that is at least five feet long. Thank you!

Thanks for asking. The 184 model should work for you. If you need a longer cable we can install that easily. Call or email us for more info!

How much does the kiln and pallet weigh? Where can I find a drawing or photo of plug?

The model 184 kiln shipping weight is 225lbs. You can see a photo of the plug on the product page. It is the 4th image.

Are elements pinned in or are they in a hard channel?

The elements are pinned into a groove in the bricks.

I'm interested in the 184 model kiln.... can you tell me the hight of the kiln fully open?

The 184 is about 4' 7" full open, including the kiln stand. 

Hi, I am reaching out to you as I am in the process of considering the installation of a home-based kiln for pottery projects. Can you pls share the details about the built-in safety features of your home-based kilns and any recommended precautions to minimize the risk of fire hazards during operation? Is it allowed to be installed in the Garage?

All of our kilns come with Bartlett V6CF controllers which automatically shut off the kiln in case of electrical issues.

We recommend that you have 10"-12" of clearance space on all sides of your kiln to allow for proper heat dispersal. 

Kilns work great when installed in a garage! An important factor when deciding where to place a kiln is ventilation, and garages often have a lot of air flow.

I have 2 questions about this kiln. 1: What is the KWH that it uses 2: Where can I read reviews from people who have purchased it?

Model 184 requires a 30 amp breaker, and will draw about 22 amps on average, at 240 volts.
Watts = 22 amps x 240 volts = 5280 Watts = 5.28kW
To get kWH you must multiply by a number of hours that the elements are actually on, not the total time for a firing. Remember that the controller is turningthe lements on and off to maintain the desired temperature.
For every 1 hour that the elements are actually on, academic energy consulption is 5.28kWH.

I'm afraid that no customers have reviewed this specific product on the website. This is our #1 most popular home studio kiln.

What is your current lead time for shipping kilns. I am interested in purchasing one but curious when I could expect it to ship.

This kiln is in stock and ready for pickup or shipment. Other kilns, not in stock, 2-4 weeks.

Do I need an electrician to install my kiln outlet?

Yes, we recommend that you get a professional to install the correct receptacle and breaker.
