Aim Bead Annealer CR420/D - Anybody have this kiln??

[KCDesigns]

I have a b-day coming up and DH said I could have the kiln I want. :biggrin:

There are SO MANY, and with the sale at Frantz, I thought about this one.

I like to work frits and I work for long periods so I produce about 25 or more beads a sitting.
I want something bigger than what I have which is a AIM 84, I hate having to stack my beads all the time. I like the brick kilns better than a fiber kiln.
I would like to try some small fusing in the future.

Also I have never used a controller I always ramped myself. Is a Bartlett easy to use????

Is this a good kiln for me or what would YOU suggest???

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers,
Kim

I have this one and do love it but I have nothing to compare it to. I do make beads but do fusing MORE than beads and it is fine for small projects, I even make small candleholders with mine and lots of fused cabs of all sizes.
