Why are no holes drilled int the lid of L&L kilns that are vented?
- We have never subscribed to the idea that holes in the lid are a good idea for venting. Other kiln manufacturers do that but L&L's thinking is that there are already more than enough holes and spaces in the kiln and they are evenly spaced to provide enough inlet opening for the vent.
- Some people like to open the peepholes at the beginning of the firing as well when severe moisture is being generated. We also believe that holes in the lid weaken it structurally.
