11" Wide, 9" Deep. A 120V Plug-In Fusing Kiln With Real Working Capacity.
The AF3P 11-E punches well above its weight. With an 11" x 9" interior, this small footprint kiln holds a 10" plate mold or an 8" square mold, which means it handles a lot of real fusing and slumping work that simply won't fit in a smaller jewelry kiln. The added depth opens up pot melts, pattern bars, and decent-sized drop-outs, techniques that are usually out of reach for a kiln this size.
It fires from both the top and the sides, which means more even heat distribution across your work. A 3" viewing window built into the side lets you watch the glass as it moves through the firing, which is genuinely valuable for instructional workshops, learning new techniques, or just dialing in your firing schedules.
It runs on a dedicated 120V 20A circuit, which means no electrician visit and no panel upgrade as long as you have a 20A outlet available. The kiln is controlled by a Jen-Ken-exclusive pre-programmed Orton digital controller, which ships with over 20 different firing schedules ready to go, plus blank slots for your own custom programs. Every program is editable, so you can use the presets as a starting point and fine-tune from there.
Maxes out at 1700°F, the right range for full fuse, tack fuse, slumping, and draping.
Included with every order
Kiln shelf, posts, kiln wash, pyrometer, pre-programmed Orton digital controller with 20+ firing schedules, and the operating manual.
Who Is This Kiln For?
The AF3P 11-E is built for fusers who want real capability in a small, plug-in footprint. Here's how to tell if that's you.
✓ Fusers ready for their first real glass kiln
120V plug-in operation means no electrician, no panel upgrade, no waiting. But unlike a tiny jewelry kiln, this one has enough room for plate molds, square molds, and serious fusing techniques. A real first kiln, not a starter you'll outgrow in six months.
✓ Instructors running workshops
The 3" side viewing window is genuinely useful for teaching. Students can watch the glass move at different stages of the firing, which is one of the fastest ways to learn how glass actually behaves at temperature.
✓ Artists exploring pot melts, pattern bars, and drop-outs
The 9" of depth is what makes these techniques possible at this size. Most small kilns can't accommodate them. This one can.
✓ Production fusers who want a fast test kiln
If you have a larger production kiln but want a smaller one for testing schedules, trying new compatible glass combinations, or firing one-off pieces without tying up the big kiln, this is a smart second kiln.
For a kiln you'll fire often, a few upgrades pay off. The Solid State Relay (SSR) gives you tighter temperature control, longer element life, and quieter cycling. The Power Interrupt Switch adds a safety layer if you ever plan to open the lid during a firing. And the optional metal stand brings the kiln to a more comfortable working height and gives it room to breathe in your studio.
