Hey guys,
I got a killer deal on an electric kiln yesterday. it is a dickinson kiln, 120V 18A. it has 2 110 v plugs, it has an analog temp meter with 2 toggle switches.
So it takes about an hour to reach 1000*+.. my fluke IR meter tops out at 1000*F the built in meter is several hundred degrees off.
My questions are
Should this thing heat up faster?
Does anyone have a manual for it? cannot find much info on google search.
Would it work better if I converted to 220V ( i would put the elements in series)
any help is appreciated.
All the coils glow cherry, and the unit itself has a weird smell to it..i joked with my wife that the sellers might have been cooking crack in it.
