I've had both. I'd go with the L&L. The element holders are worth it if
nothing else. But I also like their computrol system. IMOHO. ;)

I love my Skutt kiln. I have the KM 1027 (7 cu ft). Very even

studio had a Skutt KM 1227 (my friend has one too) and they are
equally pleased. =20
I have limited experience with L&L kilns. We had one at my old studio
and it was always breaking down. Couldn't tell you why though. But
that kiln was always giving us heartache.

(total for the kiln, controller & vent), what would you choose?
Could some of you comment on your experiences with a Skutt or an L & L?
There are so many variables in kiln buying and we are trying to make a
decision and a purchase.
Input from ClayArters would be very much appreciated.
I will mostly be firing to ^6 ox. (at least for now).
Thanks.

Sue - If you go with heavy duty elements and upgrade to 3" bricks,
I'd go with the L&L. Why? Because of the element holders. No pins, no
sagging of elements. IMHO
