L&L has built over a 60 year reputation on excellent designs and construction of ceramic kilns. They have over 40 employees that are dedicated to providing value and satisfaction with all their kiln products. The kiln that I have and am going to review is the L&L Easy-Fire ceramic pottery kiln, model e23T.
I chose this particular model because I was looking for one that was the middle of the road, so to speak. A kiln that would be able to handle a lot of different pieces at once, because I fire a lot of pottery for my soy candles. The things I liked most about this L&L kiln was that it is extremely easy to use, very productive, is extremely versatile and very reliable.
L&L Easy-Fire ceramic pottery kiln is very easy to use. Fully automated in fact. It is a top loading kiln, with a lid that is very easy to raise and is held in place with stainless steel clips offering a more secure lid versus other kilns. The biggest feature that makes this kiln stand out, as far as ease of use is concerned, is the dynamic zone control. This control system has 4 preset programs, 6 user defined programs. Delay Time lets you control when kiln starts and stops. You can easily fine tune your firings and lets you control end of firing of your pottery. Plus, L&L kilns are designed from the ground up to be easy to maintain yourself with no special tools.
The L&L Easy-Fire pottery kiln is also very productive. Perfect firings are possible at all time with the control system. No more tedious and inexact adjustment of manual switches because the system is fully automated. Peepholes are a full one inch diameter and are not tapered so there is a lot less breakage. This kiln gets hot enough to fire stoneware and porcelain and get get up to cone 10. It is also very productive because it has three different levels, all of which can be fired at different temperature levels.
L&L Easy-Fire pottery kilns are also very reliable. It’s actually one of the most durable kilns made. The Dyna-Glow ceramic element holders are best in class and protects the firebrick, gives better heat distribution, protect the element and results in a much longer kiln life. One reason L&L Kilns last so long is that the brick is hardened with a special coating and hardener. No short cuts in construction, every single facet of the L&L Easy-Fire kiln is meticulously constructed with ultimate protection and long life in mind.
My experience with the L&L Easy-Fire ceramic pottery kiln has been a really pleasant one. It’s extremely easy to use, very durable and easily handles all my pottery for my soy wax candles. I highly recommend this model and can see why it is the most popular kiln they have.
