I am purchasing a 12' cubic Crucible Kiln from Seatlle Pottery. I was
wondering if anyone has used one before and could give me some feedback about the
performance of the kiln. It is electric and I will be using it for cone 10
firings.

Hey There Tess!
This is Logan in Smokey Point and YES I do have a Crucible Kiln . In fact, I have two of them .Is that enough recomendation for you? No? then read on.First off, I have to say I don't work for S.P.S. That being said , I LOVE S.P.S.! They couldn't have been more helpfull to me when it came to answering all the questions i've ever had about setting up my studio equipment. Jim the owner is a doll! My two kilns (both 6 yrs old) run like a dream ( as they SHOULD being only 6 yrs. old) I even took an OLD skutt kiln I was given for a MAJOR overhaul. Not only didn't they try to sell me more than I needed but it was finished in a timely manner. Yes, that should be how things work but sadly too often don't. ALL the people who work at S.P.S. at one time or another have gone out of their way to be as helpfull as they could and they know what there talking about when it comes to product or technique. I haven't been given a bum steer yet!!! Sorry for the LOOOONG rant about S.P.S. Hope this
helps you out. My vote is YES for S.P.S!
& crucible kilns! best of luck!

Hi Tess:
I have had a Crucible Kiln bought at SPS for the past 6 or 7 years. I fire
mostly to ^6 or lower, but do take it up to ^10 sometimes. I had a few
problems early on with the electronic controller, but that was remedied by
the company that made them. I've had no problems otherwise with the kiln.
Hope you have the same good fortune.
Regards, Michele
