Kiln Shopping Help
Hi! I am shopping for a new kiln...mine is just tooooo small. I need one that is large enough for paperweights and marbles as well as beads. I was thinking one of the ones with a guillotine door....do you have any suggestions???
Thanks for any help!

I've never had one with a door like that. Right now I have a Jenken kiln with a little side door and a Bartlett controller. It is big enough to hold a ton of beads, and it is a toploader too so I can do fusing. I LOVES it.

Fay, I have this kiln.

Although I bought it from another company. I tried to contact the above co. but never received a reply after numerous messages. Good thing to, I got free shipping!
I like the kiln as those doggie doors don't work for me. The kilns I found with the guillotine door were out of my price range. I am very pleased with mine and I am even more happy now that I made a rack for the inside.

Thanks for the help. I am between a few choices right now...but I really want the guillotine door...the kiln I have now has the little bead door---it is just way too small for my new work. I'll check them out at B&B and the Gathering. And then start saving the $$$.
I know paragon makes a kiln the the quillotine...does anyone else???

Looks like the best choice.
I have a few kilns. None of mine have bead doors, I was looking to change the door on my SC3.
I have a question, do you have the sc3 with the bead door? If so what is the size of the bead door opening? What is the size of the bead door opening on the "garage door" unit?
That is what I would compare.
Please post if you know?
thx.

Thank you Dennis. My original post was from a year ago...2005...and since then I have purchased a new kiln.
