Earl, are conversion "kits" even available yet? Won't he need to buy the
various parts and put them together?
If BT will search the archives for "kiln conversion", I know mel has posted
the instructions at least twice, prolly more. Also, in case BT or others
are more visual learners, I think there may be a diagram in Mel's book. (I
think....can't remember for sure.) In any case, it's VERY EASY to do.
(VERY) If I wasn't a complete chicken, I could have done it myself. :)

BT, you need to know if your kiln was rated for ^10 in the first place. If
you exceed the temperature for which the kiln brick was designed, the brick
may melt.
