Maid O'Mud on wed 3 dec 03


I bought a kiln from Tucker mid September. It is a Shimpo with extra =
insulation, bottom element, rated ^10 with 3 zone Bartlett controller.

After the 6th glaze firing, I was banging my head into the wall, =
wondering why I waited so damn long to get a _good_ kiln. No more =
pinholes, no more running, no playing with switches and peering peering =
peering into peepholes. I DO use cones to confirm the computer; =
probably a habit I will always have.

Just my 2 cents.
