My very first kiln was a little Evenheat Studio 8. The inside of it is about 8" square and it has a manual control.
I have since gotten a larger kiln (and then another kiln, because I'm like an addict) and found I much prefer programmable controls.
The little guy has been sitting around for about a year now seeing no action, so I decided to make into a vitrigraph kiln.
What this means is I cut a hole into the bottom of it so glass could flow out.
'Isn't it hot?' you might wonder. Yes, it is. That's why you see the big glove there.
You also might be wondering 'what do you do with it after you pull it out?' Basically, you can use it as design elements.
Here I've used some different colored pieces as stripes:
