How does
the Orton Vent Master Work?
A small amount of air is
drawn into and through the kiln, collecting fumes and odors while
improving firing conditions. Small holes in the kiln lid let air into the
kiln. Air is drawn through the kiln drawing fumes and odors out through
the floor. The removed gases are then exhausted through ducting to the
outside.
Where does it Attach
to the Kiln?
There are some vent holes
which must be drilled into the floor and lid. We know, it's a new kiln and
you don't want to drill holes in it. We don't blame you, but it has to be
done. Ordering your new kiln complete with a vent system
relieves you of the need to drill. We'll do it for you!! The Vent Master
fits underneath the kiln using a small intake plenum. Simply position the
plenum under the kiln, taking care to position it within the vent hole
area and tighten the turnbuckle for a snug fit.
Why is it important
to vent the Kiln?
Many fired products contain
organic materials that consume oxygen during the early portion of the
firing. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are formed. New air is needed
to replace the oxygen that is used.
Many fired products require an oxygen atmosphere to develop properly.
Oxygen allows for brighter and more vibrant color, especially red, gold's,
luster's and decals. Oxygen also allows for the complete burnout of
organics which reduces glaze fit problems like crazing. It also eliminates
porcelain mildew due to carbon.
Will it fit on my
kiln?
Generally, yes. Most kilns do
offer an open area between the bottom of the kiln and floor surface. It's
this area that is used for the Vent Master kiln vent. Please feel
