Location for my new kiln

Post by Carol B »

My wonderful husband bought me a Skutt Hot Start for Christmas. I am chomping at the bit to get it fired up.

I had planned on keeping it in my unheated garage, until I read the owners manual. It says that I should not keep it in a location where temps are below 32 degrees and over 100 degrees.

I live in Olympia Washington - it does not often get below freezing or all that hot but it does a few times a year.

I have emailed Skutt but I do not expect to hear from them until after the weekend. Right now the kiln in in the middle of my kitchen and I really want to get it anywhere else.

I was hopeful that someone could advise me if I should find it a home somewhere inside or if I am ok by putting it in the garage.
