A Real Workhorse for Studios That Are Always Firing
If you've been splitting big firings into two loads or running back to back schedules just to keep up, the Jen-Ken AF 2829 3" is going to feel like a serious upgrade. The 28" x 29" chamber gives you 10.33 cubic feet to work with, which is a lot of room. Full dinnerware sets, big serving pieces, sculptural work, or a packed shelf of student projects all fit comfortably in a single firing.
It's built with 3" firebrick walls, which makes a real difference once you start firing it regularly. The heat stays where it belongs, your temperatures hold steady across the chamber, and the elements don't have to work as hard to keep schedule. That means more consistent results from one firing to the next, and a kiln that's still going strong years down the road.
The AF 2829 fires up to 2300°F (Cone 8), so it's a great fit for earthenware, low to mid fire stoneware, glaze work, and your everyday bisque firings. The standard setup runs on 240V at 45 amps with a NEMA 6-50 plug, which most studio electrical can handle without needing major upgrades. Want to push it to cone 10? Give us a call. We can walk you through the 55 amp direct wire option.
Included with every order
A heavy duty stand sized for this kiln, the full operator manual, a 2 year limited warranty through Jen-Ken, and free freight shipping to the US Lower 48.
You'll also pick your digital controller at checkout. The Orton AutoFire 12 Key is a great workhorse, the AutoFire Slide gives you a touchscreen, and the TAP Smart lets you run firings from your phone or tablet over Wi Fi. Not sure which one fits your workflow? That's exactly the kind of thing we help with.
