summit small updraft kiln performance questions

Clayarters,

We're thinking about buying a small Summit updraft gas kiln (18 inches x
18 inches x 18 inches - outside measurements) and we have some questions
we hope someone can answer.

Has anyone fired one this size?
Does it have any cold spots?
How long can it hold temperature?
Does this size Summit kiln hold temperature long enough to get the
same results as a big kiln?
Which would work better - natural gas or propane?
Has anyone been happy with their results?

Any other information would be really helpful. Hope to hear from someone
soon.

Thanks.

Sheila
