[MR] Anybody got experience hooking up an electric kiln?

So...for Christmas Rhiannon and I were gifted with an electric kiln (a
Neycraft 120 volt model 9491001 to be specific, if it matters), for my
lost wax metalcasting and her beadmaking.

Now I'm at a loss as to how we're going to hook it up.  It requires an
exhaust, as fumes and excess heat (we're talking as high as 2,000
degrees) comes out a vent at the top.

We were planning on using it in our crafting room, which is equipped
with a good window, and we're not above modifying the screenwork or
similar to make it go...but we're at a loss as to exactly what and how
we should get to do that venting.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of kiln (or any similar
project) that could offer some assistance in at least providing a
parts list to make good venting (and good heat-resistant tabling as
well)?  I'd be appreciative.

Thanks!
