$339.00 *cough, cough* Still, I had no idea such an animal existed and this is certainly on MY 'to get' list now. I've been having surge problems. Our electric service is crappy and has been for years. If it so much as drizzles we have a power outage. I think the investment is certainly valid for me. Now I just need to sell, hmmmm......., what can I sell?

If your line current/voltage is fluctuating is can be a big contributor

How many amps does your kiln draw ?

Post the amperage and I will try to locate a decent line conditioner
for you and post it here.

Good luck.

ETA:
If your kiln plugs into a regular 15 Amp house outlet then
a line conditioner such as this should be suitable.

Surgex 15 Amp line conditioner

Not cheap but might save the hassle of replacing elements.
