      had enough left over to load the big electric as well-so its going -TOU rates are low on weekends

  2. Sold one of my older electrics today-gave her the whole  deal-tons of extras -10, 1/2 shelves 2 fulls

    older working skutt 218 ,3 section

    all manual /no timer, extra new lid and extra new sitter along with spare parts  ,PLUGS etc ,as I do not use the 2.5 inch smaller size kilns any more(been stored for 30 years. Very fair price WAY under $300

    she needed a bisque kiln -perfect use for this older model

      It's nice when something is going unused and it gets a new life isn't it? Sounds like you gave her a sweet deal.

      Is this your last blast of winter?  We have been in the 80's already but it is suppose to be in the 60's and rainy all week.  Last year it dropped down to 10 degrees one night at the end of March  and cut down on the population of wasps that chase us around every summer.  Denice

      My sister is moving to South Jersey to where we spent our childhood summers and did some crabbing every summer. Crab races in the kitchen while my grandmother prepared to make crab cakes. Great memories and hope to do it again next summer with my sisters. Love crab meat!Enjoy.
