I don't know if this is in the correct thread or not, if so please let me know where to post it.
I'm needing advice on what kind of Kiln to use on a variety of crafts: fusing/melting glass, making jewelry/beads, etc. I'm not really into pottery.
Thank you & Happy Crafting....

I had a little pmc kiln that I liked a lot. I used to do lampworking/glassblowing and it served my purposes.

I prefer Paragon kilns. I find them on Craig's List used.

Hi and welcome ... nice to have you here. I'm a little late on this. It seems that you have been able to get some good input into this matter.
When this SC stated dabbling into casting, etc. I realize that I would also need some kind of cost effective way to go. Purchased a manual control satellite kiln. Eventually purchase an electronic digitally controller and had the kiln wired into that. So now I can accurately control the steps, time, & temperature for the craft I'm working on.
With that said I have been considering, for some time, purchasing a small digitally temperature controlled Paragon Kiln. Jamesp & manoglass have covered that very well. I soon realized that the manual temperature controlled kiln, although more affordable for me at the time was not as accurate as needed. Hope this helps? IV USAF 62-66
