Hi ..... I am interested in getting a fused glass kiln of my own. Does
anyone have suggestions as to which one is better ..... Paragon, Evenheat,
Cress ??? I really would like one with a digital timer so I don't have to
sit and watch it every minute ....... Any suggestions would be helpful
... The kiln will be used mostly for making jewelry so I don't need anything
monstrous!

Thanks
Marlene

Hi Jack

This kiln cost me approx US $2500
For the Perfect Fire controller (55 steps ) incl probe and wired into
the kiln US$ 450.00 but the US dollar is quite low at the moment.
I am using this mainly for fusing and slumping , it's a great kiln.
I don't know about freight cost to the USA , as I live in New Zealand

Cheers

I was just curious as I built my own large kiln not long ago. Picture
at the link below.

Know what you mean about the US dollar being low. At least my supply
of them.

What are you using for elements? Looks like the kiln is insulated with
Kaowool or some such sort of material. It appears to be a real fine job,
all shipshape and Bristol fashion.

Best regards,

4" of Kaowool it is. I plan to cut the lower walls back to 2" for the
extra firing area. Bristol fashion must be a good thing.

first, then I'll look at a kiln. Later. Really. ooh, look, shiney new
