I just made a furnace and got all I needed from a ceramic supply store the insulating fiber was $12.60 a foot by about 3 foot wide they also have the element wire there thats your best bet. |

Unfortunately that is the exposed element similar to what I have in my kiln. It is electrically hot so you want to make sure it is off when you open the oven. I am still looking for a source of high temperature insulated elements similar to the element in a domestic oven only rated for higher temperature. Brian |

Well you can dip it in a zirconium paint or silica based paint.. But yeah your right, you need to make it turned off.. i plan to install "off" switch on the lid.. |
