Worried my kiln for hire is going away. That would leave me to buy a kiln, -never had one- or drive a long way (4 hrs round trip) and pay a fee.

Before you even start looking at kilns you have some research to do. Wiring and location to start with and if you have a location will you be living at that location that it would be worth the cost of setting up a kiln. Sometimes it is cheaper to take a pottery class where you can have work fired when your in limbo. I have bought two used kiln and one new test kiln in the last 45 years. My paragon has finally gotten too old to rebuild and I just rewired my Skutt. I use a dual digital Skutt thermocouple set up if I want to do any down firing. Like I said a lot of research to do.

I can't imagine the time and work involved in doing a 4 hr round trip every time I wanted to fire pots. The control to fire how you want to, the convenience, glazes not getting dinged in the transport etc would make your life so much easier if you had your own kiln.

Agreed.
