I'm selling my beloved Hotstart Pro Kiln, I only got it 9 months ago but am now moving up to a bigger kiln. I absolutely love this kiln, it is so easy to use, it is fully programmed for beginners but also allows you to enter your own more advanced programmes.
Although primarily a fusing kiln, I have successfully batch annealed beads in it too.
The official blurb says:
The Skutt HotStart Pro Kiln (Fully Programmable)
The Skutt HotStart Pro kiln is probably the best value mid size starter kiln ever made. Produced
by Skutt, the world’s largest manufacturer of hobby kilns, the HotStart is the fuser’s choice when
it comes to starter kilns.
The Kiln
All Skutt kilns are made with precision milled, hand selected brick and top-of-the-line electrical
components. These kilns are built to last. The 38cm (15”) chamber is large enough to fire
everything from jewellery to bowls and is heated by elements routed in the lid to ensure even
heating.
The Controller
One of the best features of the HotStart kiln is the GlassMaster LT controller. Now beginners
can start fusing glass successfully right away. With its pre-set programmes, all you need to do is
select what you want to do with the glass and how fast you want to fire IT’S AS EASY AS 1-2-3!
As you become familiar with the kiln you can modify the factory set firing temperatures and hold
times. For those who really need customised results you can design five additional programmes
with eight segments each, providing you with total programming freedom.
Specifications:
· Kiln comes with all you need to start firing.
· Power supply 13 amp domestic plug.
· Kiln shelf size 33cm diameter.
· Chamber size 38cm diameter 16.5cm deep.
· Skutt parts and labour 2 year warrantee.
· Top temperature 870 ºC.

Whoever buys this will have to come and collect it from me, it's fairly hefty so will need two strong people to move it!! I live in Eastleigh, which is between Winchester and Southampton. If you're nice to me, I might even make you a cuppa
If anyone is interested, please can you PM me, I am looking for £550, as it is still so new. xxx
