How Much Electricity Does A Small Kiln Use. How much energy/electricity will i be using? A kiln’s power consumption is largely dependent on its size and design. The simple answer is that the cost of firing a kiln is less than you’d imagine. A 30 cubic foot kiln will use 300,000 btus per hour to reach cone 10. Let’s assume that your kiln purchase cost is $2500 and lasted 400 firings. Only very small kilns (less than 1 cu ft) can operate on 120v power (normal household voltage). Here’s a breakdown to help you gauge the power usage of small kilns: A soft brick gas kiln uses approximately 10,000 btu’s per hour for every cubic foot for a cone 10 firing. We’re also at 11 cents kwh, so it costs us 22 cents an hour to fire. There just isn't enough power. How much power your kiln uses. Our smaller kiln is a 120v/17 amp drawing kiln, or ~2kw/hour.
