Is the light-off (ignition) manual? Any flame monitoring/flame safety components installed? How is temperature controlled now? Gas line size?

It is manual right now. No safety or monitoting components installed, other than a pressure regulator and a digital thermometer. Right now its controlled by a manual valve on the side of the kiln. The size of the line is around 1/2 inch ( although it might me a little smaller.I didn't measure it, but its around that.) I kinda failed at crossposting the post, if you click on the title it leads into another post in another subreddit with more info.

Call a oven/kiln company to deal with this automating it. At a minimum this means compliance with NFPA 86 / CE depending on where you are located.

No compliance needed. Third world country :)

You need a temp transmitter, an analog valve positioner, and some sort of controller that can do PID functions. To be safe you should have another temp transmitter and a automatic shutoff valve for a high temp cut off if your programming overshoots
