Hi Hannah,

My son and I recently purchased a 'Laser' gas kiln. I had never heard of =
them before and don't know anyone else that has one. It is an 18 cf =
downdraft, kiln made in England. They have both larger and smaller =
models. We purchased it used and were lucky enough to get all of the =
previous firing logs with it. The manual was missing so I found them on =
the internet and they e-mailed me the entire manual the next day.=20
We had a show coming up and when we finally got the gas company to hook =
it up, only had three days to glaze and fire. Our first load came out =
mid-day of the first day of the show.....all of the porcelain pieces =
were gone in minutes. With the firing logs and blind faith we have had =
five excellent firings. Our cone 10-11 Rutile Blue is absolutely =
beautiful. We are having a little trouble with several pieces deciding =
they need to adhere to shelves, but we're working on that. Now we are =
working on a red to compliment our beautiful blues. You can contact =
'Laser' at sales@laser-kilns.co.uk They are great to work with. Good =
luck in what ever you purchase.
