Sam....thanks for the info.
I believe 800c =1472F if I'm not mistaken. I don't think 50 minutes is too bad of a time to reach that temp. I suppose it should be slightly quicker IMO, but I'm not sure either.

I would think there must be a rule of thumb or even a more exact method to calculate watts/cu.in. for a kiln that is properly insulated and I'm hoping someone will contribute with said info.

I don't have any info on store bought knife blade kilns as far as wattage/cu.in., but if no one contributes such info soon I will see if some manufacturers list there wattage and calculate it out for their given internal chamber cu.in. size.

Where did you find the info to shoot for 7.5 ohms? Are you saying that is the resistance to positively shoot for?

David
