KILN FOR ALL REASONS

10 CU FT. BAILEY ELECTRIC KILN

WITH KILN SITTER CONTROL

 

$575.00

Model 2927-10, Kiln Sitter LT-3K

 

This is a top-loading, high-fire kiln (goes to stoneware temperatures—2,300 F). I bought it 3 years ago from a little old man from Hanover, a hobby potter, who made work for the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen. He (Treat Arnold was his name, and he sold it because he was moving to “the old folks home” in Hanover) bought it from the original purchaser, a little old lady from West Leb, Julie Moran.

All upstanding Hanoverians, who would not have abused the kiln.

My intentions of starting up a pottery haven’t materialized and the kiln is not in our moving plans. I never used it. It is in its original state from when I bought it from Treat:

The coils look good. He said he replaced one, and there is an extra replacement with it should the need arise. It needs a new top and could use a new bottom. I bought it knowing those needs, and never got around to fixing it up. I believe the tops and bottoms (which often need replacing) are around $100.00 each. Treat said the kiln was near new when he bought it, and he had it for 15 years. The Kiln Sitter is Model LT-3K, with six settings.

The kiln can be viewed at my house in Bridgewater, VT, 10 minutes west of Woodstock. As far as delivery is concerned, you would need to come and get it. I moved it myself in a small pick-up truck (I don’t have the truck anymore). The kiln comes apart in one larger lower bottom piece, and one upper piece. Quite manageable for the little monster it is.

Those interested can contact me: Barbara Naple, 802-672-1415 on Route 4 in Bridgewater, VT.
