However because of the Easy-Lift, Easy-Load spring-loaded counter-balanced hinge
(which is now standard on L&L 29" diameter kilns, and optional for others), this is not easy to do.
The lid lift mechanism is highly integrated into the structure of the
kiln, and it's difficult to take it off and on for every firing.
Therefore, L&L
offers the no-cost "Pull-Apart Option." In this option,
there is no hinge or lid-lift assist mechanism at all. The lid lifts off
manually, with 4 handles, and the control box
is mounted on a separate stand from the kiln. This makes it
extremely easy to add and remove rings.
