Hi Kim,
I own a Cress B 23 HT and like it a lot but it doesn't compare to the newer
computer controlled kilns. If you have the funds get a new kiln with a
controller. There are many controllers on the market. The two most popular
for electric kilns are the Orton and the Bartlett controllers. The Bartlett
controller is found on Cress, L&L, and Skutt kilns. Check out their
controllers at http://www.bartinst.com The Orton controller is used on
Paragon kilns. Orton's web site is http://www.ortonceramic.com Happy
Shopping.

Subject: New to List- Kiln Controller Question
Hello All! I'm new to the list and have a question regarding controllers.
I currently have a used electric kiln (Cress B-23-H with kiln sitter- old
but in good shape) and had borrowed a friend's controller (Sentry, I
believe) for awhile and loved it. Now I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to
purchase a new/used controller or simply look at the newer kilns that come
with controllers. Can anyone help and/or suggest what type of controller to
purchase? (3-key vs. 8-key?) Also, would the kiln sitter need to be altered
and how much would I expect to pay for a controller that would work with my
Cress? AND, lastly, does anyone out there have a used controller they'd
like to sell?
Thanks so much!!!
