purchasing a gas kiln

hi all,

my husband and i are planning a move to a new home in a couple of years, and
part of the plan includes a studio space for me, in which i plan to install
a small gas kiln. my question is, how much can i expect to pay for a new
kiln, about 10-12 cubic feet. how safe is it to purchase a used gas kiln
and what should i look for if the opportunity should present itself?

thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Might be a good idea to include your location.

years ago i stumbled onto a high school thatdiscontinued their pottery program
and i was able to buy ALL their equipment for $1000. including the kiln. (i
never measured the kiln, but it was about as big as a coke machine). so check
your local high schools for old equipment. it's a shame they have been
dropping art programs, but we all should at least pick up the materials and put
them to use.

after refurbishing the kiln it worked very well.

i lived in lakewood, california. population of 80,000. i got city permits for
the gas line which cost me $15.
