Gail, my (novice) experience with PMC has been good so far.  I fire at
1630 deg. F for 2 hours without a kiln controller (which means I stand
right at the kiln for 2 hours and make sure the temp does not go over 1630
deg.) I lay my pieces on alumina hydrate (from ceramic stores), so 3-D
pieces do not flatten out.  I understand Rio Grande is coming out with new
programmable kiln that will have PMC program installed.  Also, Swest is
selling a PMC made in Japan also at about half the price. Lathrop's
Jewelry Supply in Houston is carrying it, but I have not tried it yet. 
You should have several replies to your inquiry. Dottie
