MY NEW SURPRISE FROM HUBBY
Can you believe it?
Came with a durable stand.
On the stand, it is 35 1/2" tall.
Purchased in Inola, Oklahoma April 7, 2007 for $200.00.
Previous owner said she 'got it' five years ago, but unsure
how old it was at that time.
She stated she used the kiln to make glass beads.

"EVENHEAT" brand. Model 5320LT. 240 VOLTS.
30 AMPS. 7200 WATTS. SINGLE PHASE.
Kiln panel suggests not firing to over Cone 8 (2300° F)
More information found! This model was manufactured
on April 18, 1980, making the kiln a 27 year oldie
but goodie.
I purchased a manual for the kiln ($13.00) by contacting:
Evenheat Kiln, Inc.

This panel suggests referencing the "Dawson manual".
So begins the search for one.

As of this post, I am very kiln-illiterate.
The things in the kiln I would imagine are
shelves and supports.
I just learned today (04-09-2007) that when looking at
used kilns, you should inspect the lid and the floor of the kiln
for any cracks in the kiln brick.


Previous owner stated it was a two shelf model.
