I'm not sure you'll get a very large one in that price range. What do you currently have Marsha?

Keep looking I lucked out with my Jenken which is 18 x 11 and I paid 650.00 but had to travel to NC to get it. I love it and the size is big enough for now. If I hear of something I let you know.

Since most kilns have a very long life, the best value is to buy second hand. You will get a lot more kiln for your money than buying new, and you may be able to trebbel your kiln size for your budget.

Keep watching the List. And maybe put up a want ad somewhere. There are lot's and lot's of kilns in the northwest. And many folks are hurting there right now. Advertize. I have a dear friend in Woodinville area that may know of one. I will write him.

I check Craigs list often for a new front loading kiln. Not to many of those available. If you are looking for a top opening kiln there are a lot on Craigslist.

I posted an ad to Craigs List. One guy already answered me but neither kiln has a controller. I need a controller!

If the price is right you can always add a stand alone controller. Just a thought!

Maybe so but if you can pick up a used kiln for a couple hundred you’ll still be within your budget adding a 3 key stand alone controller. Considering that the starting price of a larger new kiln with a controller is going to be above your budget it doesn’t sound so bad. |

I have to confess I was being stingy with the budget so I could get a mold or two and some glass!
