It's about 4:00 p.m. The kiln is at about 1850 degrees. It is starting to glow inside. The outside is now too hot to touch. I don't have any way to measure how hot it's getting. By the way this is a Paragon Janus kiln. The little one.

I checked the current at the panel. It's pulling 19.12 amps on each leg. I calculated 18 amps based on the specfications. The resistance of the coils must be a little lower than specified. Well, I need to rerun my math. I think I used 220V. I measured my voltage at 240V using a wiggy. Which is not a real accurate device. So perhaps I should measure the voltage and recalc.
Nothing odd is happenning. It appears to be heating up nicely and in a very controled fashion.
