Whichever kiln you go for try to get one with a brick interior for excellent heat retaining properties. I'd stay away from a fiber blanket interior. Make sure the heating element is recessed into the brick to minimize the risk of poking a mandrel into the element. Also a digital controller would be a plus for temperature regulating. Support a Small Business and buy made in the USA! These are the things I was looking for in an glass bead annealer/kiln and went with Glass Hive.
