I am currently looking for my first kiln, and the electric requirement has been the hardest part of buying. With that said, do you know if my house is equipped with 240v and the kiln that I want is 240v, will that work or does it have to be lower than 240v?

I've been doing some research and had decided the Firefly was just about right for my needs when I found your site, and am more assured of my pending decision. I am hoping that you can answer a question for me however, I have found the Firefly listed for PMC, but also for glass work, enamaling, & ceramics, can it (or any kiln) be used for all mediums, or are there gases that absorb into the fire brick that would affect the next medium. I have always wanted to try glass fusing, and I've always loved to do ceramincs, but I don't want to have 3 different kilns. I'm hoping you may have some information on this.
