We purchased the DLB-24 at the school where I teach. Got it configured to
use 12x24 shelves.
It's a well built kiln. I recommend it highly.
Have only done a test partial firing, to show the Fire Marshall that it
functions properly.
Got to 1700=B0F in one hour! The kiln was empty, but I'm sure I'll need to
keep a close watch on this kiln until we learn more about it.
