I had the meter in the back of the kiln pushed in too far- therefore metal was touching metal and throwing the whole thing off!! I actually had the kiln up alot higher than...

Had it wrong- Window not

Hi! I guess my newness at this is showing! It is a window- not a peephole. It is on a 20 amp dedicated breaker and 12gaged wire wirh ground was used as specified in the manual. All the elements are glowing red. The intense heat is coming from the window area. Renee

Peep Holes in Kiln Question - Jen Ken G11-E

Does anyone have the side peephole in their kiln? I have a new Jen-Ken G-11E. There is intense heat coming from the peep hole area. I can hold my hand about 6 inches away for 15-20 seconds before I have to move it away. Is this normal, or is this possibly why I cannot get my kiln up to 1500? Thank y...

Hi! I just got my JenKen kiln (GS-11-E 120v 17 amp) and bought the 20 amp breaker for a dedicated line. My question is, can I use a higher amp breaker instead, so that I can run my shop light and light box off the same outlet without ruining my kiln or overlooading the line or does dedicated MEAN de...

Melting Slag Glass

:?: Hi everyone! I am new to this and wonder if anyone has tried melting slag glass. I know that it will depend on the thickness etc as far as the timing goes, but has anyone worked with this and can give me some tips? I would like to melt pieces to put on the bottom of windchimes. Thanks much! Renee
