Hi Sonya

It would be helpful to know what type of kiln you are looking for, as
well as what part of the world you are in.

Gee Whiz! North Carolina? How far are you from Seagrove? If it's not
too far I would go and poke around a few of the many potter's shops
there, and see if you can get any leads. There are many, many potters an
that area.

Dear Sonya:
The people on this group are an international bunch who are tired of
Americans always assuming that they are the only people in the world and
that the news groups are just in their neck of the woods... They are a
very helpful bunch of people who discuss pottery problems and solutions
from firing techniques, material substitution, glaze and clay formulas.
You are insulting them with this post. In spite of that they have given
you an answer.... You might try eBay for kilns or equipment as well and
limit the mileage to your local area for personal pickup. Craig's list
is another useful tool to finding just about anything. I am sure that
there is someone selling a kiln from an estate sale or divorce that
would love to get rid of it so they can park in the garage again...

Another possibility would be to call up Olympic kilns and see if they have
any customer returns or display models. I got one from them that is brand
new but is supposed to be a return. I saved about $500. They are in North
Georgia near Lake Lanier.


Take a vacation and go pick up a kiln at the same time.
PS: Don't worry about comments like the fools above wrote.

we get a weekly newspaper (free) for the area called the "pennysaver".


i see electric kilns in there every 4 to 6 weeks. typically $250 to
$300. usually Cress or Duncan, the 24" sizes.

your area may have one of these comunity papers as well.

see ya
