Kilns & Annealing Ovens

I currently DO NOT have any bussiness interests
in kilns, kiln building or kiln repair.

These kilns and ovens were designed and sold by Gary Molitor while employed at the W.E. Mushet Co. from 1974 to 1983. They were manufactured under contract by the Burt Manufacturing Company (Thermolite), latter sold and renamed the Contemporary Kiln Inc. For current information, contact John L Glossinger, 415-388-11001, 800 Denise Court, Mill Valley, CA 94941-3719
