I need to purchase a kiln.? I have never fired a kiln on my own before.? I have always been in a studio envoronment where someone else has done the firing.? I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and was told I can't drive for a while, which confirmed my long-time desire to set up my own studio at home anyway.? The key point is, I need the easiest kiln on earth to fire!? I'm looking for a kiln that will fire to cone 10 with a sitter or controller on it that basically does it all.? I was looking at the Olympic 2827H and wanted to know if anyone has any opinions on it, or if anyone can tell me if I should be looking at another kiln in the same price-range?? I was considering purchasing a used kiln but was too afraid of doing this since I know absolutely nothing about kilns...? Any advice would be appreciated!
