We have had some talk about the two more popular brands Evenheat and Paragon but Weo mentioned this company. They seem to be a bit better priced.

They are built a bit different then the other two. Instead of being lined with brick the use a most rigid and durable, light-weight refractory fiber material. Also the heating are protected so safer which has been discussed.
Here's why ours works so well... Our new Fiber Front Loader Oven 12 (FFL12) is made of pure fiber insulation, which means that only your metal heats, and heats quickly. The FFL12 cools in a fraction of the time as a brick kiln of the same size. No electricity is wasted heating brick! Our heavy-duty coils are encased in quartz tubes, suspended at the top of the kiln, so that direct radiant-heat evenly surrounds all the blades in the oven. All your blades are evenly exposed to top-down heat, not just side heat, delivering the most even heating of any kiln available. In addition, the quartz tubes protect the elements from oxidation, delivering longer element life. Quartz wrapped tubes assure safer operation since you can't touch the element coil with any tools or blades... no chance of a shock!
Anyway been looking for some feed back on these ovens.
