Kiln comes as a three piece or can be all attached with a hinged lid with a special order. This kiln can be converted for fusing or ceramics with the purchase of the optional second solid floor with no hole in the bottom. This kiln is design as is to only be a vitri kiln and to be fired on a steel rack as shown. Please seek proper instruction before attempting to fire the kiln and pull stringer. Do not use a vitri kiln on a table. Glass flows out the hole once the kiln reached about 1650F. Proper clothes, tools, high temp gloves, and a suitable area with a rack and large steel container to catch the hot glass are highly recommended. This kiln comes standard with the Orton Digital 3-key controller. Solid State Relay A Solid State Relay is hands down the best investment you can make in your kiln! The relay is what controls the power cycling of the elements in the kiln and they need to be able to withstand a ton of power as they do so. The solid state relays are incredibly efficient compared to the standard mechanical relays and are able to operate at much faster speeds. What this equates to is incredibly tight temperature control for accurate firings, longer element life, and savings on your electrical bill! The standard mechanical relays have moving parts which cause wear and tear over the years and will eventually need to be replaced; however with a solid state relay it's likely to last the entire life of the kiln! You will save money and time by never needing to worry about this in the future! Metal Stand Bring your kiln to new heights... literally! Increase accessibility to your kiln, give it some room to breathe, and make sure it's looking it's best for you every single day.
