So, I have been told that for my 50th birthday (on 12/12/12), I get a kiln as my present and I can get it now! Now I have to figure out which one. I have done a ton of reading but want to hear your preferences to meet my criteria.
1. Primarily beads, but possible 2-3" blown ornaments
2. Encased elements or elements in the lid. I am REALLY paranoid about touching an element with a mandrel.
3. 110 current. I do have a 220 plug for my pottery kiln, but that would be a hassle.
4. I am not planning on quitting my job, this is a hobby, even if I am passionate about it , so I won't be torching for many hours each day.
5. want to stay at max of $800 before shipping, less would be better.
I have looked at the ChiliPepper but not sure it will work for the small blown ornaments? Please help me pick out my present!
