"My Little Dragon affords an opportunity to play with glass in a way that is less money-driven and more creative...you can make anything you want out of this furnace. Reduced stress from low overhead and easy on & off allows my mind to wander to new creative places."            
​                                   -James Friedberg, Little Dragon Owner, San Francisco, CA

Conversion Kits. As of right now, due to the complexity of construction, a conversion kit for existing FATCATs is not available. For customers who already own a manual FATCAT, there are a couple of parts that cross over and can be easily re-used, depending on the model. Viability can be determined on a case by case basis.
