The enclosure worked OK but not perfect. There was quite a bit of spatter from the bottom side openings. I did not anticipate it would get in that far or that high. So the bottom of the kiln and the control box were wet.
I'm heating it up to 200 degrees F now and will hold it for a couple hours at that temp. Then I'll try it at like 500 degrees to see what we get.
The temporary fix is to put some aluminum sheet scraps around the bottom to stop the spatter from the falling rain. I'll probably get some magnets to hold them on and cut them to fit tomorrow. Should do the job. That way I can adjust them to still allow air in the bottom.
Later,
John
