Is anybody running a kiln?

Wondering if any of yous guys are running a kiln or high temp lab oven for media prep, drying and/or cleaning of glassware?

Thinking hard about it…

I almost bought one last week for annealing glassware, kind of thinking about picking up lampworking in my (lack of) free time.

I think most use a regular vac oven for baking out their glassware, the vacuum is a nice benefit. Same for media, some use a microwave instead. As far as a properly high temp kiln, I suppose @cyclopath might be recommending that it would clean fines/kief off a stainless mesh sock pretty nicely

indeed.

they’ve been suggested for cleaning and decontaminating glassware as well (two relevant threads. single citation).
