Title: Ebac MF2
Post by: Todd5203 on April 14, 2025, 07:38:01 AM
I'm hoping to find someone with experience with an older Ebac MF2 kiln.
Looking for words of wisdom regarding chamber size and setup.  The kiln didn't come with a high heat exhaust fan, so looking for suggestions.  Can the chamber fans be wired into the controller or a separate circuit?  Thanks

Hi Todd
Ebac is still in business in the US, you could try them for info.

I had a Ebac about 25 years ago. It didn't have a provision to exhaust heat either. To solve the problem I used a line voltage thermostat used in poultry houses to turn on a fan. First fan I used was too small and took a long time to bring the heat down. Swapped that out for a small shop dust collector which moved enough air to bring down the hear in just a few minutes.

Today I would buy a Inkbird to control the fan. I've had one in operation for auxiliary heat in my Nyle for a couple years now without problem.

Thanks Larry, great idea I should have thought of that seeing how I already have an INKBIRD.
