Yeah I gotcha, but when you start making some serious nice smoking glass you need to go right into the kiln to keep it from cooling down to quickly......but I'm sure you already know this. If I ever have the extra scratch I'm going to get setup as well. It's a great hobby.well i'm sure not firing up a 5200 watt kiln to anneal a few marbles.![]()
