Should work Mike, may want to check the accuracy of the temp gauge though.

Work well for some of that Texas rock Mike.  Most Burlingtons needs to go 600-650, so ya might have to stick a butane torch in the side hole on occassion.   ;D  That  is a cool looking thing, never seen one before. what is the heat source?

And like Dana said on the temp gauge

Thanks Timo! I hadn't seen this before. Now I've got two kilns to work on. I'll start shopping for those parts soon :).

 It's hot enough for coral and most jasper. Good find, Mike.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

You stop by with some nice looking Cody Style Flint Blades and some good Whiskey....and you just might walk away with a 700 dollar Rod Oven...... ;)

Be cheaper to run at 240 or 480 but 110 is much more convenient :)
