Hi,

    I've been working with the Ultalite kiln for several years. I have
    taken many workshops with Jean Stark (Granulation Goddess) and she
    uses this kiln almost exclusively. It is portable, inexpensive
    (relatively), and very versatile. Like Jean, I use it for
    granulating, fusing wire for loop-in-loop chains, and enameling. 

    Enamels over a certain size(over 3") are difficult in this kiln. I
    have a big enameling kiln but I turn to the Ultralite almost
    exclusively. I have had to replace the heating element a few times
    from excessive use. They are available from Rio and JEC. I have done
    demos with this kiln-no need for special wiring or dedicated plugs
    either. For what I do it is far more efficient than my big kiln. I
    do recommmend buying the thermostat (available from JEC). I haven't
    been compensated to recommend any supplier-just a very happy cu
    stomer.

Patricia
