To those of you building your own kilns, where do you buy your elements? I have a kiln that I built during my glass blowing days that I originally powered with an oven broiler element. At the time I only had to hit 1000°f. Anyway, the kiln is just over one cubic foot interior, built of 1 " kaowool board. 240v 20 amp circuit. From what I understand, 2000 watts will be adequate. I either need a little help calculating wire size and length (I am thinking kanthal a1) or preferably a source of stock elements. I would like to install one single element if possible. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve B
