Hello Clayartists,
HELP!
I am ready to purchase a kiln. I am looking at the Skutt 1027 and
L&L JD230. My technical person (my non potter but electronics genius
husband) feels the L&L is constructed better.
He feels the L&L kiln has features that are better than the Skutt
e.g. the element holders, the ability to fire manually or computer controlled,
and the 3 independent thermocouples (one for each section).
Having read through existing clayart discussions I am now thoroughly confused.
It is almost as bad as the Craft VS Art discussions in my pottery magazines.
Can you compare the 2 brand's pros and cons.
I ask, of the 2 which..... fires better (I will be doing cone 6),
needs less maintenance, is easier to repair and whatever you think is pertinent
to my limited understanding.
My experience so far has been with Skutt kilns which seem to be very reliable.
I am in the Denver, Colorado area where neither of the pottery suppliers carry L
If the L&L kiln goes down I will have to mail order parts. Is that a potential p
Could you please share your experience with me.
Thanks

In the near future I will be purchasing a larger kiln. I do custom tile =
work for large scale murals and architectural installations. I also do =
sculptural works as well. I'm wanting to upgrade to a larger and front =
loading kiln. I'm thinking about 20 cu ft, or 36 to 45 inches interior =
dimension. Firing to cone 6. I'm wondering which models folks have found =
most reliable, best value, etc.
