My Little Kiln
She is small but mighty. She gets the job done.
There are many times that I wish that I had a larger kiln so I could fire larger things and fit more layers, but I can fill it with a variety of houses and accessories, as well as ornaments and bowls. If I am careful, I can get quite a few things in there and fire a load overnight. And because it is a small kiln, it really doesn't use a lot of electricity. A little larger one would be great to have, but this one works for me.
What I love the most about my little kiln is the automatic timer. After having this feature I could never go back to having to change the temperature manually. Well, I could, but I wouldn't want to! It is so easy to just set it in the evening and unload the kiln the next morning.
Type of Kiln
I use a Paragon Xpress with a kiln sitter.
I keep my little kiln in the garage. It only a requires 120V plug that we had an electrician add next to our electric panel in the garage.

I recently did a search for my model and apparently, this exact model is not available anymore. If you are in the market for a little kiln, look for ones that are 120V. But if I were going to purchase a new one, I would get the next size up.

I just did a search for Paragon Kilns and the website where I purchased mine does not sell Paragon Brand any longer. But I did find one similar to mine on this website:
I have no affiliation with this company. I'm just sharing where to locate this style/size kiln.
Nice to be able to put stuff in the kiln at night and retrieve them the next morning! Hope you can get a little bigger one soon so you can do more and bigger stuff. :D
