How much does it cost to purchase two kilns for personal use?

Answer 1

Depends on the size, but most 8-10 cu. ft. models will run $2000-2700. Smaller models will be a little less but I would counsel against anything less than 6-7 cu. ft. You will end up loading and firing too often and "burning" money. You will also need kiln furniture (shelves and posts, around $250.), and don't forget electrical installation costs, another $250-350 for 208/240v. Always ask for discounts, student, teacher, senior, education, etc. it can save hundreds.

Answer 2

Pottery kilns are an expensive but valuable piece of kit for potters. They are not easy to come by, but eBay is a good place to look. If one wishes to buy a new kiln, a specialist company such as Northern Kilns will be able to help.

Answer 3

Kilns come in a variety of brands and sizes, so the cost depends on what type you are going to buy. Price ranges for a single kiln is anywhere between $150 to $800.
