Casting Kiln

Post by tboysen »

Hello all, glad to join this site..... Putting in a new kiln, mainly for casting since I have others for slumping and fusing. I am currently looking at 2 companies, Paragon and Denver. Interested in the front loading design, but open to top load. My reason for front doors is that my back is getting older, currently recovering from loading frames in the back of my car.. Any thoughts on the Dragon janus or the Denver KL-TFC? I have one Denver already and works well, but not sure of the build quality. Currently having issues with the top sagging into the elements.. Any thoughts on this is welcomed...

Why not look at a pottery kiln? They are deeper and do not have roof/lid elements to cause problems. I think the deeper interior volume might be better for casting.

Yes don, not opposed to a ceramic kiln, though most of those are top load.
