I have successfully fired many pieces in it and it's exactly how they describe it - economical and efficient. <br /><br />If you are just firing PMC3, you don't need to buy the pyrometer and temp. control. However, I find them useful because you can see when the kiln hits the minimum temp. and then time it for 10 minutes. The extras are necessary if you are working with PMC sterling or bronze clay because you need to monitor the temperature closely.<br /><br />Before the Speedfire Mini, I never had kiln experience either. It's a great starter and I have not had one problem or complaint. Prior to this, I torch fired everything so I am able to do so many things that I couldn't before. I highly recommend it!annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925899789638533529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796594391594432242.post-77282998401740130362012-07-31T12:40:49.539-07:002012-07-31T12:40:49.539-07:00Hmm.

Let's try one more time.... <br />I was wondering, since it's been a little while since you got it, how you feel about your SpeedFire Electric MiniKiln? I'm seriously considering picking up the 1800 model, but I have precisely zero kiln experience and there are very few reviews out there for this product. <br />Thanks in advance for any advice you're able to offer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
