Hi,
Thanks for the link to the archives. Great stuff in there. I found
lots of other things that I've been looking for, but not much
comparison of Skutt vs. Cress.

I am still left with this question. All else being equal, which would
be preferable, an older Skutt kiln or an older Cress kiln?

I have another question, too. The owner of the Cress kiln says that it
is a Cone 10 kiln, but I am not so sure about this. It's a Cress Model
B-27-E, about 15 years old. I looked up some other current Cress kilns
with similar model numbers, and it appears that they are all Cone 6
kilns. Hmmm...

Any help & opinions of Skutt & Cress would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Ivy
