Hello. While I do not have an answer for you, I am currently seeking the same. I would like to plug two kilns into one outlet, though certainly not to fire both at once,

as each kiln should run on it's own circuit.

Rather I would like to eliminate the need to unplug one and then plug in the other in order to fire twice in one day.

I'll keep looking, and hope to have an answer for both of us.

:-)

No, the plugs for the different voltages are different shapes.

Unless it was purpose-designed up-front to operate on the most common "international range of voltages", 110V to 240V, a 115V appliance will usually be destroyed by 220V.

When traveling, the main 220V outlet worldwide is the Europlug, a circular plug with two pin prongs and sometimes a ground pin. (Australia, for example, is a 230V country that has its own plug. Another is the UK with a totally different plug.) To plug in small appliances - like a phone charger - a multi-plug converter from Radio Shack or any number of travel shops will do the job of converting the US plug to suit the socket outlets in each country you visit.

Larger portable appliances (such as hair dryers) are now available to run on either 110-120V or 220-240V by selecting the right voltage using a simple switch on the side of the appliance.

No, you cannot plug a 220 vac appliance into a 120 vac outlet: the plug and receptacle shapes are not the same. If you could plug a 220 vac device into a 120 vac outlet, it could seriously heat up the device or otherwise result in failure.
