The Fast ProFusion: 500°F Per Hour Firings in a 26" Chamber
The Jen-Ken ProFusion 26 is the smallest kiln in the ProFusion family, but it's far from a compromise. The interior is a generous 26" wide by 26" long by 12" deep with 4.69 cubic feet of capacity, plenty of room for serious glass work. What makes this kiln genuinely special is the speed. With the included fiber shelf placed on the floor, you've got an all fiber interior top to bottom, and you can fire as fast as 500°F per hour. That's fast. Production studios can run multiple firings a day. Teaching studios get pieces ready for the next class.
The top is built from 2300°F rigid fiber with elements encased in quartz tubes, hanging just below the lid for maximum radiant heat where the glass needs it. The kiln ships with a fiber shelf that turns the chamber into an all fiber firing environment, so small pieces fuse even quicker.
The lid is a spring assisted clamshell that feels light even at this size. The whole kiln sits on an integrated stand with casters, so you can roll it where you need it. Standard 240V at 36 amps on a NEMA 6-50 plug, 8,640 watts. Friendlier on home and small studio electrical than the bigger ProFusion kilns.
Included with every order
Integrated stand with casters, rigid fiber shelf, 2 year limited warranty through Jen-Ken, and motor freight shipping to the US Lower 48.
Who Is This Kiln For?
The ProFusion 26 is built for a specific kind of glass artist. Here's how to tell if that's you.
✓ Production glass fusers prioritizing speed
500°F per hour fire speed means more pieces per day, faster turnaround, and the ability to fill orders without waiting on slow cooldowns.
✓ Glass teaching studios and classrooms
Fast firings mean students see finished work the same day or the next class, not next week. The integrated stand at comfortable loading height is also great for accessibility.
✓ Working studios that don't need architectural width
If you're not making 52" panels and don't need a full ProFusion 38 or 52, the 26" square chamber is sized for serious work without paying for capacity you won't use.
✓ Home studios stepping up from a smaller fusing kiln
36 amps runs on most home electrical without a major upgrade, and the integrated caster stand makes setup easy. Real production capability without rebuilding your studio.
The ProFusion 26 ships standard with the Orton AutoFire 12 Key controller, which gives you reliable programmable firings with features like Skip Step, Add Time, and Add Temperature at the push of a button.
