Built for Lampwork Annealing and Cool-Down Workflows
The Hot Shot 18A is purpose-built for lampwork and small-scale annealing. Drop your hot work straight in, run a controlled cool-down, and pull stress-free pieces that won't crack later.
The 18"Dx18"WX18"H interior chamber is sized for the work this oven was designed to do.
It reaches 1100°F, plenty for soft glass and most hard glass annealing schedules. It runs on a standard 120V household outlet at 15 amps — no electrical upgrade needed.
Every Hot Shot oven is built in West Bend, Wisconsin and ships with the brand's patent-pending Cool-to-Touch Technology — the exterior stays safe to handle even at full temperature, thanks to a fan-cooled stainless steel core inside a powder-coated shell. Kanthal A1 heating elements, a Type K thermocouple, and a solid-state relay come standard.
Included with every order
Full operator manual, a 3 year limited warranty through Hot Shot, and free freight shipping to the US Lower 48.
You'll pick your digital controller at checkout:
TAP2 — full-color touchscreen with unlimited program storage, built-in Wi-Fi, and a free mobile app for monitoring and notifications.
Bartlett Genesis Spark — touchscreen with industry presets, 30 custom programs, Wi-Fi for software updates and remote monitoring via the Bartlett Kiln Aid app.
Not sure which one fits your workflow? That's exactly the kind of thing we help with.
