I have had experience with cone 10 glazes in the past and want to have a go
with cone 6. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good book that would
teach me the basics and possibly provide some glaze recipes.
Also, I am looking at buying a L&L e23T kiln very soon. I would appreciate
any advice or opinions on this particular kiln.
Thanks,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,
The best book you'll ever buy is Mastering Cone 6 Glazes by John Hesselberth
& Ron Roy. Everytime I have a problem--I go back to their book and sure
enough the answer(s) are usually right there.
Good luck! Cone 6 is as high as I've ever gone....

Dear Kelly,
By the time you read this mail you will have been informed by a
hundred or so that the best place to start is "Mastering Cone Six
Glazes" by Ron Roy and John Hesselberth.
Not just the basics but the Principles.
Have fun.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.

You've chosen an excellent kiln! Check your wiring in your house, you
need a NEMA 6-50 receptacle, a 50amp breaker and 6 gauge copper wire.
(I'm assuming you have 240V power in your house, not 208V) Find out who
your closest L&L dealer is and call them for a price. Also ask about
service. L&L Warranty is 3 years (except wearing parts) ask if they
provide the warranty or if you have to call L&L for warranty work. What
about after the warranty? What kind of repair rates do they have
(especially important if you don't want to change your own elements.
For esxample, in the midwest, Dave, our kiln tech, charges $35.00/hour
for on-site repair. It would take him an hour or less to change a full
set of elements. On either coast you'll probably pay more because of
cost of living, but make sure it's reasonable.) Shop around, but
consider that the cheapest price is not always equal to the best place
to buy the kiln. (Also be sure to ask about freight costs when
considering price!!!) It's almost ALWAYS better to buy locally. You
local supplier is more likely to remember you and when your relay goes
out at the worst possible time, they will be more likely to try their
best to handle your emergency.
Good luck!

PS You can find a list of suppliers on L&L's website:
http://www.hotkilns.com/distributors.html
L&L even lists their Top Ten stocking and non-stocking distributors.
