Should have posted this sooner, but...

My "new" blog and store are now here.

240v electric kiln, excellent condition $200 obo

Jenken kiln exterior

Jenken kiln interior

A friend of mine has a kiln for sale, $200 or best offer:

• Jenken model number D-21
• Temp 2300 degrees
• 230 Volts @ 27 Amps
• interior dimensions 21" dia. x 22" deep (about 4.5 cubic feet)
• 2 zones w/4-position switches
• kiln sitter

I tuned it on, and all elements appear to be working.

Older kiln but in very good shape, looks like it's only been fired a few times.

Includes 2 shelves (both need grinding and washing) and a few posts (see photo); you'll definitely need more furniture; No stand, currently set up on a couple of concrete blocks.

Kiln currently located in the arts and crafts area of a condominium.

Note: plug looks like a NEMA 10-30; may need to replace this with more common type like NEMA 6-30 (see http://www.generatorjoe.net/html/web/outlet/quailplug.html for receptacle types).

Pickup only in Gainesville Florida
Call Alice at 352-871-5293 if interested
