So the site I got the original design off of mentioned that they weren't sure if you could use the new aluminum irons to make my kiln and I now have an answer for that:
No, no you can't.
It was a spectacular failure, which doesn't mean it failed spectacularly, or there would have been flames and a fire truck. Instead there was just bubbling melting and splitting aluminum heating elements.
No fear though, I am going to try again when I get back from my trip to Utah which is supposed to happen today, so we can hope. I have to get more ceramic fiber blanket and some donuts and wires. I should be all good to go again. I'm not giving up until I have made my own kiln
