I just got a skutt hot start kiln. I was looking for a small kiln for tests, and small pieces. Most were 300-400 for about a 6"-8". This is just over 500, but takes a 13" shelf, and has a controller. Got it in 3 days, no shipping and it works great.
Just thought I would share.

Hi Lynne, like with almost all controllers you can change them/over-ride the programs. Skutt was willing to help with this at the Vegas show which was great. The basic controller set up allows you to program for simple firings, but as you advance and if you use different types of glass (thickness, desired looks, etc.) you need to be able to have the program fit your firing. The price is great when you consider you get a controller and the kiln runs on 120 volts, 15 amps. I did test firings in a kiln before Vegas and I was very happy with the firings. I did several 3/4" thick sample pieces in the kiln too and it was great to be able to program annealing. Patty Gray
