“My husband and I have 25 years of high-school ceramics teaching
experience between us in Henderson, Nevada. Both of our schools
have Geil gas kilns. They are a joy to fire and we have always had
great results, so when we built our home studio a few years ago the
decision to go with a Geil kiln was a natural one. Our Geil gas kiln
is a breeze to fire to Cone 10 in reduction and, despite the fact that
we have an electric kiln, we use our Geil for all our bisque and other
low-fire needs. Our carbon trap shinos and copper reds are perfect
every time.
“The customer service is excellent. We have also purchased the ultra
light nitride-bonded silicon carbide shelves that Geil sells. You
would not believe how lightweight these shelves are and how easy
the kiln is to stack. Any glaze runs that we encounter scrape off the
shelves easily with a putty knife. Geil kilns are by far the easiest and
most enjoyable kilns we have ever fired.”

The twin-auger design does a fantastic
job blending. This is worlds away from
the time consuming process of our old
mixer pugmill. Now I have more time
for my students and recycling is a
breeze. You can't do better than the
