Upgrading kiln

Post by macbeads »

Hey guys..need your thoughts.

I have an AF-99 little kiln now. Love it. Great for little jewelry pieces, etc. I would like to upgrade so I can slump wine bottles and other things.

Thoughts on what I should be looking at now.

Read your post about your "little" kiln. i also have a small Aim kiln that I love for jewelry. I just sold my 14" Evenheat, and got a 24" Jen Ken. I was wary about getting a larger kiln, but now I'm glad I did. It's 11' tall, and the shelf is a wonderful 22" wide. Think of the possibilities!!! I'm glad I got the larger size. If I were you, i'd go for the largest you can afford. If you're like me, a 22" shelf is HUGE, I', gonna have fun! Now I just have to learn how to use the computerized controller. I'm NERVOUS!!!!
