I purchased the Evenheat HF 1818 kiln from Soul Ceramics. The product came via freight and it was packaged and shipped very well. The unboxing was easy, with minimal installation required. In addition, I purchased the furniture kit, and the downdraft vent. I also upgraded the controller to the Genesis 2 Icon+, with solid state relays, which I’m very happy I did.
I’ve done a series of bisque and glaze firings, and I’m very happy with the results. The kiln has 3 inch fire bricks and is very well insulated, and as easy to program. I highly recommend this kiln.
I also recommend Soul Ceramics as a retailer. They were very helpful in my selection of the kiln, and made some good recommendations. Their prices were the best I could find, and their feedback and communication was great during the ordering and waiting process.
