Mini electric kiln project

[scott.livesey]

Mr. Scott thanks for your recommendations. 
I have difficulties to accommodate the stretched element (spacing 3x wire diameter) into the side wall grooves. For this reason I am considering resistance wire holders made of porous cordierite, which are used in traction and resistance devices. One threated ceramic holder of 300 mm (or 12") length can accommodate 3 meters (or 120") of Kanthal wire. Depending on the wire diameter I would need 6 or 8 wire holders.

I like this solution as it gives you several options on mounting the finished elements.  6 holders would let you do right, left and back walls
