All I can say is your local codes will dictate this. Do you know the local codes???
I certainly hope so since this is a commercial space. In fact I seriously doubt it is legal for you to do this work in a commercial space. EVEN with the LL's permission. The liability is just to high to risk this, and I'd bet the local laws require some amount of liability insurance to do commercial work.
If you DO decide to go ahead and do it yourself I'd run conduit the whole way from panel to disconnect and use a flex whip to the kiln.
Just a few points to clarify.
- You CAN have longer than 6' sections of metal flex (FMC - flexible metallic conduit) as long as a ground is run inside, which should be standard practice anyway. NEC 348.60
- The only restriction for pools is a six foot limitation of liquidtite flex for outdoor spas. Pool lights have a similar limitation. NEC 680.42(A)(1)
Motor cords are limited to three feet.
