[Clayart] Small kiln

[paul gerhold]

When we lived in New Jersey we kept our Paragon outside with a cover to keep off the rain and snow. Worked just fine although probably cost a few extra bucks to run since it was often fired when it was really cold. We also did not have to fire everyday although I did fire a few times when it was snowing. 

Oh and it was connected to a 220 outlet with a homemade extension cord using if I remember  correctly no 6 copper wire. Hardwired is always better but an extension cord does work. You just have to inspect it occasionally.

Would probably need an electrician to bury a wire for the twenty feet away from the shed house. Does a garden shed even work for a kiln in the Northeast? That would be great if insulation is enough to weatherize!
