You will notice that most of the models have an option for a "BR", which
stands for blank ring. A blank ring allows the user to increase the height of their firing
chamber by 4 1/2 inches. This ring can be added or removed at any time however be sure to
note that the addition of a BR will significantly reduce the maximum cone temperature.
It can be very useful for bisque or low fire of very tall pieces.
Blank rings may not be added to electronic models.
A wired ring or "WR" may be added to the KS818 and KS818P models. However,
it must be installed at the factory at the time the kiln is ordered and cannot be removed
subsequently. A "WR" does not effect the temperature capabilities of the kiln.
-3 after the model means it is available with 3" firebrick
for more insulation, resulting in lower energy use and slower
cooling. The interior dimensions are slightly smaller however.
