    Thx again for all the suggestions. I was able to pick the Kiln & furniture up last night for $550. I just started looking and typically with these sort of purchases I research more extensively. Anyways, I'm here now with a kiln that I'm not 100% sure how to use . I'll be reading the manual and searching this forum. Probably won't get to firing it up for a few weeks because I'm busy with other projects. Attached are some pictures in its temporary location. The tag was still on it and the daughter of the previous owner said it was only fired a few times because they had a smaller kiln they used.

    Thx folks! I'll see how it goes tonight. @johnnyk do you have a digital controller you recommend that's compatible?

    Wow thanks for the info and I will follow up. is it ok to transport the kiln on its side? I have the space (6ft truck bed) but have a camper shell on the truck so it’ll have to go in horizontal. Maybe I can get lucky with the base off to slide it in vertically.

    They said they would hold it for me until I can pick up later this week. I’ll post some pics if it works out!

    We’ll I guess I would also probably get a more modern kiln but the extra savings makes sense haha

    Thanks for the help @neilestrick & @Mark C.. Very much appreciated. I just started looking for Kilns and this is kind of an opportunistic purchase that is only 25 minutes away. I didn't want to make a bad decision but given the reassurance and all the info on the forum I'm not worried this is a bad choice. My other options are to continue monitoring online for one to pop up or pay 2k and wait 4-5 months. I plan on keeping this Kiln in a lockable semi, enclosed, deck (more or less a shed). It will be kept dry and there isn't much salt here to deteriorate anything but let me know if there are any additional precautions I should take.

    Thx for the quick reply! I will have to work with my electrician for the new plug but willing to tackle that problem. The dimensions are ideal for my use cases. It does come with shelves: Anything I should check prior to picking up? I will not be able to fire it up on site. right now I’d be able to pick up all of it for $650 w/ original manual.

    Hello - new to this community but excited to learn and hopefully contribute. The time has come to pick up my own Kiln! im considering this cress fx23. I emailed the manufacturer and they confirmed that it was built in January 1991. the inside is in pretty solid condition and looks like it was only ever fired a few times. what do you think this kiln is worth? TY
