Upgraded my “kiln” yesterday. Our full-length freeze quieted so I moved it to my workshop / outhouse. I drilled three holes for; The power unit from a computer that I use as a fan, A “cooking hob” for food, the last hole is for an extra light for the heat (does not seem to be needed). Will also install a temp sensor later, now the cable goes through the door. It´s working perfectly.

Welcome to FTT forum Vanerpaddel,
Congratz on your new kiln, temp etc, seems to be ok..

I'm just about to turn an old fridge into a kiln here too & had planned to use a crockpot as both heat & humidity so we'll see how that goes.

What are you using for heat, the cooker hob?

Hi, and thanks JLP.
Yes, the "plate who holding the food warm" was enough for 50-55º C.
And I do not use anything for the humidity because the tobacco leaf are in plastic bags.
It is the first time I do this, so everything is learning by doing. :)
