    I believe the top temp. is more like 1500. I have one of these, I use
    it occasionally for firing PMC in class. 

    Another jeweler friend has one for granulation. 

    I haven't tried it for enameling, though it should work. You would be
    limited to just one temperature of enamels, I think. 

    Another one you could look at is the Firefly by Paragon, at $285.00. 

    I wrote more about the UltraLite Beehive kiln on my blog:
