I would like to generalize the heating requirements of tobacco kilns, and need the input of any of you who use a kiln powered by any electrical heat source (heat pad, Crockpot, light bulb, etc.).
If you could do a rough measurement of the internal dimensions of your kiln and post these in this thread, together with the wattage of your heat source or sources, that would be a big help. (I'll be posting this on HTGT as well, so please post here or there, but not both.)
I realize that insulation and air flow make a significant difference in the efficiency of a kiln, but I think we can come up with some usable numbers.
Thanks,
Bob
