Just how big of a Kiln do you have? I did a little quick math and with the largest Skutt kiln I found using 11,520 watts at the most expensive off-peak rate of $0.1111/kWh would cost about $16 for a 12.5 hour fire but only if the kiln was going full boar the entire time. (Which I don't think it does.) Of course there are other costs involved, but I wouldn't think it is that much. Maybe the firing cost is one of the reasons that Munktiki moved to Portland. The off-peak electricity here is only $.07773/kWh. (~30% cheaper than what you pay.) In any case, you do amazing work, and I love that you share so many in-progress photos and information. |
