For casting, the side elements do the work on their own and the kiln will go to 2,150°F, which is the range a casting mould and a long ramp need. You select the mode; it is one kiln with two ways of heating, not a compromise between them.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat electrical circuit does it need?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003e240V single phase, a 33-amp draw, 7,920 watts, a NEMA 6-50R receptacle, a 40-amp breaker and #8 copper — that is what Jen-Ken publishes and what we have printed. One thing to put to your electrician: a kiln is a continuous load, and the usual 125% sizing rule puts a 33-amp continuous draw at 41.25 amps, which is just over the 40-amp breaker Jen-Ken specifies. Jen-Ken's own sources do not contradict each other here, so we have published their figure rather than withholding it, but this is a case where we would want a licensed electrician to sign off on the breaker before anything is wired.

What it will not do is mid-fire or high-fire stoneware: cone 6 is out of reach, let alone cone 10. If pottery is the main event, buy a ceramic kiln and keep this one for glass. If you fire glass most of the time and want the option of a low-fire load, this is exactly the kiln for it.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does it compare with the 2815 3\"?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003eWider and thicker. The 2815 3\" gives you 28 inches of shelf instead of 24 and three-inch brick instead of the standard wall, which Jen-Ken rates at roughly 20% more insulation, at the cost of a 45-amp circuit instead of 33. If you fire several times a week, the heavier brick pays back in element life and running cost; if you fire occasionally, this is the sensible buy.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat actually comes in the crate?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003eJen-Ken does not publish a crate contents list for every model, so we do not want to guess.
