I ordered my kiln and it took about 4 weeks to arrive!!! When it finally did I couldn't wait to try it out, but first came the fun part...the instructions. I know sometimes reading the instructions isn't so much fun but when you are going to fire a small kiln, with molten hot glass and bricks that are 1465 degrees, it's one of those times when you should! Once I had read through the manual and the book about the fire process, I set up the kiln. The first firing of my kiln was just to set the bricks in place, which prevents cracking in future firings. Then in the next firing I put in five pendants and two pairs of earrings, then crossed my fingers. I think the first time went pretty well, and the picture above is a piece from that firing.
