Paul Cummins is a ceramic artist in the UK working on a massive project to make one poppie for every UK soldier killed in World War I. The poppies are being displayed at the Tower of London and then sold to the public. Our Jumbo Bell-Lift kiln, sold and installed by Potclays, our UK distributor, is helping him with this Herculean task. L&L Kilns is proud to be part of this memorial.

This video demonstrates how to remove a ring from a bell-lift kiln for repair or replacement. Here are some additional notes: 

-Be sure to protect the paint from the steel cables with some sheets of cardboard over the top. 

-Before you remove the element boxes and cords, be sure to photograph how the wires hook back up 

-Before you lift, loosen those rubber rollers so they're not adding friction as you lift. 

-Before you lift, those sharpie lines you see them drawing in the video on the fiber lid and the metal base are critical for lining everything back up. 

-The steel cables are sized so that the sections have gaps between them as you lift and prevent rubbing on each other. 

-Since the safety pins aren't usable in this scenario with everything lifted, PLEASE be careful not to lean into the kiln as you remove the bad section 

-As you remove the bad section and put the new one in, watch the element terminal

In this video we will demonstrate how to assemble the optional tall stand for our Plug-N-Fire kiln. 

In this video we will walk you through the unpacking and assembly process for an L&L Easy-Fire Kiln!

The assembly process will be similar for most of our polygonal kilns, such as our school master and equad-pro kilns, but if you have any questions about your specific model you can reach out to service@hotkilns.com
