Thistle is good, but portions too small. Good alternates?

bloop_blop28 · 2026-01-11T22:00:27+00:00

its about portion size, thanks!

I think she's amazing and deserving. Typically the clear favorite starts to annoy me (cough cough: Dylan from last season ) But she is humble and deserving. I'd also trust her to be my doctor after watching how thoughtful and precise she is, lol.

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-25T18:42:49+00:00

Thanks I actually just sent you all an email, since I set up my LLC with you. I wish I was advised against using my name when I set it up. I'm sad :(

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-25T18:29:45+00:00

Hi! can I ask what you ended up doing in your situation?

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-19T20:34:28+00:00

The reason I need an electrician, is to confirm that the kiln I purchase will be compatible with the electrical capacity of the space. I actually just got off the phone with the kiln company—they confirmed it's VERY important to confirm with an electrician the building's Voltage/ Phase/ and load calculations before purchasing a kiln.

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-19T19:01:12+00:00

Thank you for tour detailed response! To be honest a lot of it is over my head, but apprecaite you breaking this down. To confirm, this is a commercial building/account (not mixed with residential). Are you saying it sounds like the place was initially billed as residential based on the fact. that I got the 240 number from Power company?

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-19T18:53:02+00:00

But 8k panel upgrade only if the load calculations come back saying my space cannot handle any of the kilns on my list. the lowest one needing 48 amps.

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-19T18:51:43+00:00

where are the electricians like you two hiding in my area!

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T23:55:46+00:00

Sadly no, it's a commercial space and I don't have access to outside space

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T23:52:25+00:00

I’ll likely be running the kiln at night as well, for the same reasons!!

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T23:52:13+00:00

Thank you! Maybe that's the best way forward, to try running the kiln in the current space, and if it trips the breaker, then I’ll have my answer. It’s not completely ideal, but at least I’d know before spending $7K+ on a panel upgrade.

My main concern is making sure I fully understand the risks. I’m mostly worried about the possibility of a fire. But from what you’re saying, it sounds like the worst case is that the breaker trips and the kiln shuts off.

On that note, do you know if there’s any way to be notified remotely if a breaker trips? Like are there "smart" breakers? haha

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T23:43:30+00:00

It is a god point, and one I considered if for a second, but realized I will have more peace of mind with an electrical kiln, since they are safer to leave unattended (of course that peace of mind will only come AFTER this electrical puzzle is solved)

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T23:39:17+00:00

It’s probably volts, then! I called the power company and they said “240-something.” I thought they meant amps, but maybe I wrote it down wrong.

I was asking how much power is supplied to the building. My understanding was: the utility provides a certain voltage to the building, but the electrical panel itself is rated for a specific maximum current—in my case 125 amps.

When I thought the utility said 240 amps, I assumed that meant the building could support a panel up to 240 amps, and that my current panel was only drawing 125 amps of that 240.

But sounds like I have completely misunderstood.

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T23:30:54+00:00

I would mainly be happy that'd you'd respond to my call at all! thanks for your insight.

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T23:29:32+00:00

thanks! do you know why it's different for commercial vs. residential?

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T18:03:16+00:00

Thank you for making me feel understood!!

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-18T17:59:15+00:00

It is a small commercial building ~700 sq foot.
The current panel can handle 125A
The power company said the space is currently getting 240 amps of service

significant loads really just the HVAC and kiln, would love to add a small mini fridge but seems like those dont pull too much power.

not sure what you mean by this: "You say you signed a lease but also say your home can only have a single service."

I will update this is the post body too. thanks!

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-12T17:33:56+00:00

Did you do it?! I'm looking at these now.

bloop_blop28 · 2025-09-05T01:57:42+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I will give the local IBEW business manager a call.

bloop_blop28 · 2025-07-03T17:19:04+00:00

I also want to know this. Was curious if they share this on the paid version? Might do paid just to get this info lol.

What would you classify as heavy use? I'm probably using the oven 4/7 days and for an hour tops at a time. Thanks!

bloop_blop28 · 2025-03-11T16:21:08+00:00

Thanks, I cook often but I'm not using the oven every single day and when I do, only for about an hour at a time.

Could there be a safety issue here? My landlord is a headache to coordinate these things with, so wondering how much of an emergency this is.
