I have that exact kiln! Unbelievable! I too am forced with a decision regarding the 240 cord or two 120’s but I was unaware I could actually do this! Thank you for your very detailed description it was awesome!!! Now that I’m 50yrs old I finally have the understanding that the teachers in school were not lame n I wish I would have paid more attention to them instead of if my Cheerleading skirt fit right and if the boy I liked was going to sit by me!🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 oh dear what can I say...awe... the good ol’ days right!?! Bahaha ANYWAYS ....🙄I just wanted to thank you 🙏 and even if I don’t chose to go this route I still learned more in this video about my electricity coming into my house! ❤️🙏keep up the great job...your a great teacher and your greatly appreciated! 🙏

I happen to have that same kiln with this exact problem. How did you wire it?

Hello, awesome video, I was wondering if I could run this in series and still have a pid temperature controller as well.

Not clear what you mean by "series" or "pid temperature".

Can you use regular THWN 10 ga. wire for kiln control?
