Here's a link to a source of ceramic cones.

The cones are not the best way to fire glass because they will not allow you to soak at fusing temperature.
A better investment is a pyrometer and thermocouple as seen in the attached link below.

To operate your kiln you will still need to install a pyro cone to get the kiln to run.  Select one that will not shut the kiln off at fusing temperatures.  It will be your job to tend the kiln and determine when your glass is fired.
You can also buy a plug-in digital controller at the following link.
