    There was recently a question about a similar kiln for PMC firing
    posted on the PMC Guild forum. The answer from Rio Grande was that
    such kilns are not sold in the U.S. because of safety issues.
    Apparently one test with PMC melted the housing on the microwave! I
    don't know if this is the same kiln you saw for glass slumping, but I
    suspect the same issues would apply. 

    To read the full answer to that question, visit the PMC Guild Web
    site at www.PMCguild.com, click on "resources" and "bulletin board."
    I believe the question was posted under the "finishing and firing"
    topic. It was within the last 30 days, so should be current on the
    site.
