Liz is right! I bought a Tucker ConeArt kiln almost 2 years ago.
I bought the computer controller with it so I could do the ramping
as suggested in MC6G. I had Tuckers ITC both the kiln and elements
(for a small extra cost). I use my old kiln for bisque, and the new kiln
for glaze firings. Still fires even bottom to top 22 months later.

I could have easily purchased a cheaper kiln, but didn't even comparison
shop (which, if you knew me, is WAY out of character). I believe in
supporting businesses that have been good to me over the years.
Tucker's customer service is fantastic.

When we went to order, we were given a complete tour of their premises
and a walk-through of the building of our new kiln. We felt extremely
comfortable
placing our order. They walked me through the 1st couple of firings (via
phone),
verbally holding my hand while I entered my programs.

Good choice, good kiln, good service. What more do you need?
