Is it necessary to disassemble a sectional kiln to get it onto the kiln stand?

It is faster and easier to find several helpers and to lift the kiln onto the stand. That takes just a moment. Disassembling the kiln is much more time-consuming and unnecessary than setting up the kiln. However, we recommend disassembling the kiln if you need to carry it down a narrow staircase or through a narrow passageway. You could also disassemble it to load tall sculptures or replace elements in the bottom section.
