Small kilns can be converted from 240 volt to 120 and vice versa. An example is the Paragon SC-2. As a 120 volt kiln, the two elements are wired in parallel. As a 240 volt kiln, they are wired in series. However, larger 240 kilns cannot be converted to 120 volt, because on 120 volts, you would not have adequate power.
