Questions about a Paragon kiln and 220V wiring.

I have an old 110V Paragon Q11a burnout kiln that I'm converting to digital PID control. Auberins supplied PID (SYL-2362 1/16" DIN universal), 25A SSR (RS1A40D25), and thermocouple hardware.

I was wiring it all in last night and found that the Paragon has 2 separate coils. Is it possible to "split" my house 220V to run each coil? Would there be any benefit to doing so? If it matters, my 220 circuits are 3-wire, neutral & ground combined.

I know I saw a thread dealing with this awhile back, but now I can't find it. Paragon lists a set of 220V coils for $65, so if splitting the 220V legs isn't feasible or safe I can do that.

Thanks to Stacy, Jim (ib2v4u), Nathan Burgess, Rashid, and a bunch of others for getting me this far.
