the purchase of an oven?
I'm investigating the purchase of a pottery kiln Paragon. Here is the description of our local advert: "3.3 cubic feet 220V 30A electric oven, comes with cable support, ceramics and furniture." They set out only $ 95 it seems too good to be true. As a beginner I would, for now I am only interested in firing decals on ceramics and perhaps in the future to bigger and better projects. Anyone out there have any advice for me? Thank you.
I'm checking with the elements of the oven to see that are not broken. In this price, which has only manual switches and a switch cutting cone, there is no controller in everything. As you describe, is quite large (average 21 "cube) unless you are making bulky vessels and has a good amount of energy. You could look at the Paragon site and compare costs and the characteristics and their recommendation.
