Question I keep blowing the circuit breaker with my kiln

Ughh I was up to 1 am last night fiddling with my new bead kiln...its an Aim 96J. I have to run it in the dark in my garage it seems. Whenever other lights or appliances are on it flips the breaker. I was hoping to run my concentrator and the kiln off the same outlet....but it won't.....

So I heated the kiln up to 1000 and then turned it off and then made my beads and then when i was done...I turned everything off and heated the kiln up to 1050 for boro beads, which had fallen to 500 degrees.....so I think I strained the beads.....and I worked Amber Purple...which came out looking black purple and blue....weird!!!

Suggestions? I am thinking I am going to need a seperate breaker for the kiln......ughhh but for a 120V I didn't think this would happen! Help!!!!
