Hello all : ) After lamping for a few months , my partner and I are ready for a kiln . Any input , advice , recommendations would truly be appreciated . What a dizzying array of kilns there are ... capabilities , size , wiring requirements . We are two ladies torching in a detatched garage , with normal household current . We're not doing any fusing , but who knows what'll pique our interest next week ? Thanks bunches for any help .

Take a look at the Jen-Ken with the digital controller and bead door. It will give you a lot of flexibility in terms of annealing, fusing, PMC, enameling, etc.

I have a Jen Ken kiln with a digital controller which I use for fusing. I've been very pleased with it. I bought it from Centre de Verre. There's a lot of information on the warmglass site on kilns -
I bought a kiln from Arrow Springs 4 years ago and (knock wood) haven't had a bit of trouble with it. It's a firebrick kiln with a bead door that also has the option of being closed for fusing. I can do beads, PMC, fusing in it. Very dependable and (what's the word) = multitasking... (senior moment)
