price. I will get a small one again - 8 x 22" - because I don't produce =
all that much work. It is a hobby for me.
I am wondering if any of you have experience with either of these kilns =
that you could share with me. Also am wondering how challenging =
programing the controller is for a newbie.
Thanks very much, =20

I recently purchased a coneart (september) and am extremely happy with it.
I have used 2 other brands of kilns. I am happiest with my coneart.
Programming the kiln the very 1st time IS scary - so I called Tuckers; and
they walked me through it over the phone....even after they went over it
*very* thoroughly when we picked it up. I'm a bit slow....
