Hello to all ---
I have been lurking and learning for a long time, using lots of tips and
hints from all of you. Thank you very much!
Now I need your experienced opinions
I am currently using a small fiber-wall kiln, safely firing to ^04 for
several years ( the label says it will do ^6 but I don't trust it ). Now I
am ready to purchase an electric kiln that will reach ^6 consistently and^10
sometimes. This will have to live in my garage because my "corner of the
garage" is the studio. I figure firing chamber size could be around 22 x 27
and I know I will have to have wiring done for this kiln - my old one runs
on regular household current.
What are the recommendations?
Thanks!

Hi, I am also buying a new kiln very soon. After a lot of WEB shopping, I
have decided on the L&L J18X . These kiln go to cone 10, and come manual
(kiln sitter) or digital controls. Multi zone control,
with heavy duty elements and Thermocouples are available

Mimi,
I have 2 paragon kilns. one with a DTC 600 computer controller and the
other with a DTC 800 controller. I love them both. They fire to cone 10
but only fire to ^6. I ordered them from Bennett's, which had the lowest
price of all I called. You can pick it up from Paragon in Mesquite, which
saves you the shipping charges, and ordering from Bennett's saves you the
tax. Bennett's (800) 432-0074.
I also purchased my Pacific GT800 and My Northstar Super30 slab roller from
Bennett's.

Our community studio just bought two new L & L kilns. Our glazes have never
looked better. The kilns are so well insulated that now it's almost impossible
to dry out greenware in the glaze room! The person who runs the studio and is
an expert at kiln repair and set-up was thrilled with the way the guys came in
and set the kilns up, cleaned up after themselves, and tested them. She didn't
have to do a thing. Ours have manual controls. She decided on manual controls
because she can easily repair them, and she didn't have the budget to repair
computer controls nor the the time to wait until the controller was sent back
and worked on for repair. She's also not computer literate so computer chip
controls scare her. She went with what she knew, but the kilns have been firing
beautifully and evenly and efficiently.
Sandy
