surprisingly simple to use

I was fairly daunted by the prospect of buying a kiln and finally decided on this one. Delivery and set up were easy (thanks to a neighbour who helped me get it off the pallet) and so far the 2 bisque fires and 1st glaze fire have been great! I will need to tweak the program for the bisque fire but otherwise it's been really really easy! Mike was helpful with the stupid questions I asked also! I think a bisque fire is costing me roughly £3.

Fantastic little kiln

Our first venture into the world of pottery and we are highly impressed with the kiln and Hot Clay, whom we bought it through.

Great build quality, really easy to use and great price. Delivered as promised.

When I did raise a query with Hot clay it was dealt with promptly and really effectively.

All in all a great experience
