Can use Oven elements for kiln?

I would not suggest it. The oven elements will not get hot enough for kiln work. Since a kiln gets to the temperature of over 1400 degrees, the standard overn elements will not attain that temperature. Invest in standard kiln elements...and a good kiln thermostat.

How can you measure the temperature in a kiln?

Temperatures in a kiln are generally measured in two ways: by a pyrometer or by a pyrometric cone. Pyrometers are electronic thermometers which read the temperature inside the kiln. Pyrometric cones are pieces of ceramic formulated to bend at specific temperatures in a kiln. Most potters use both methods of measuring temperature because the temperature at which clays and glazes fire is very critical.
