Hello, :)

I have been reading on what is needed to purchase a kiln in hope that I can
make an educated decision I won't regret. I found several threads in the
archives that were invaluable on insulation, vent types, electrical wiring,
etc. As always, the list is a great resource. Thank you.

I noticed that Harry Fraser's book is practically impossible to find and,
when one does find it, the price is prohibitive. After looking around, I
found the following book which is down to earth and gives you a really good
idea about what to look for in a kiln, safety, energy conservation, firing
it, etc. I find the tone of the book interesting, too :)
