Delphi EZ-Pro Fast Fire 15-6 Fiber Kiln

Item# 68826

very good, September 30, 2022 4 stars

Pros
This is a excellent light weight kiln that facilitates more rapid temperature ramping than a traditional kiln.

Cons
The kiln developed cracks shortly after I started to use it. I believe that as the kiln wall expands it is compressed by the steel belts around the kiln. I spoke with the manufacturer who indicated this does happen; I sent pictures and they indicated it would have no affect on performance and after a year it has gotten no worse and I am very happy with the performance. One of the heating coils broke after about 3 months and the manufacturer was great about sending a replacement. I put a computer cooling fan under the controller to help keep things cool.

Other Thoughts
Although I've had these issues I love this kiln and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Difficult to work with, September 30, 2022 2 stars

Pros

Cons
I found the texture of this glass to be so rough that I could not get a reliable cut. I expect the folks at Delphi had a similar issue as the piece I received was very irregular. If you want to work with this the best way is probably to use a saw.
