Skutt Firebox 14 Glass Kiln

I have been using this kiln for glass painting and fusing for getting on 10 years. Love experimenting. Inexpensive to run

I started glass fusing with a microwave kiln a few years ago and was hooked! I've had this kiln for about 5 months now and used it quite a few times for fusing, slumping, tack fusing and fire polishing. Although the weight appears to be quite high my wife and I lifted it into position quite easily and we are in our 60's! I bought the optional kiln table and, although it is expensive, it is robust and very stable The kiln itself has never failed on both the preset programmes and ones I have added myself. The only criticism I have is that the programmer is a bit out of date when other kilns have app controllers but it is easy to programme. Will Skutt produce a retrofit upgrade for these machines perhaps?

This is a great entry level kiln, I've had mine 6 years and use it lots. Just one thing, I've had to replace the lid twice as the element has broken both times. Luckily it's not too difficult to do but expensive if it's out of warranty. I don't know if I've just been unlucky, the kiln is housed in a warm, dry garage and I always load it with glass that it perfectly dry.

I have been used to a small kiln with no programmer. So when my husband bought the Skutt box 14 for me as a birthday present during lockdown I was overjoyed and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying a kiln. It arrived in time for my Birthday it was straight out of the box and ready to use, no problem, so thanks warm glass for the excellent service your the best.

Arrived well packaged, and very easy for a beginner to use, I dived straight in and did my own firing schedules watching YouTube videos. A great starter and great size kind on for the beginner and professional alike! It was love at first sight!!!
