I need help determining if these used kilns are worth the price!
The first one is a Skutt LT-3K - model 1027. It comes with one shelf and a couple of bricks. This one is going for $1,200. Looks to be in good condition, told it fires perfect.
The second one is $1,500 and is a Skutt Ceramic Kiln KS-818WR, Cone 10. This one comes with bricks, peep holes, and cones. Looks to be in great condition, fires perfectly.
My question is, which is a better deal? I want to say the $1500 because it comes with some many things, but it looks like it's on the smaller end. I usually fire about 10 mugs, 5 bowls, and a couple of vases. All under about 5-6 inches. I am scared it may be too small. But, the 1027 is what I am used to firing at the studio.
Another question, it looks like they both have manual kiln sitters. Is it possible to change it to the digital display? Like this here -- https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/18270/km-1027-kiln-240v-1p/
I only fire at a studio and every kiln has a little display pad where you can change the cone, temp, speed etc so I've never really worked with a manual one before.
Thoughts and advice needed!!
Thanks,
