Re: purchasing a gas kiln

years ago i stumbled onto a high school thatdiscontinued their pottery program
and i was able to buy ALL their equipment for $1000.  including the kiln.  (i
never measured the kiln, but it was about as big as a coke machine).  so check
your local high schools for old equipment.  it's a shame they have been
dropping art programs, but we all should at least pick up the materials and put
them to use.  

after refurbishing the kiln it worked very well.  

i lived in lakewood, california.  population of 80,000.  i got city permits for
the gas line which cost me $15.
