A Studio Workhorse with 3" Brick for Steady Firings
Max Temp
2350°F
Chamber
23.38" × 27"
Power
240V / 48A
Warranty
3 Years
The Cress ET27 is built for studios that fire regularly. Running on 240V, it has the power to reach high temperatures fast and hold them dead steady through long firing schedules.
The Cress ET27 is part of Cress's ET-Series, which means it ships with 3" firebrick walls instead of the 2.5" brick used on standard E-Series models. That extra half-inch of brick makes a real difference once you're firing regularly — better heat retention, steadier temperatures throughout the firing, and elements that don't have to work as hard to keep schedule.
The 23.38" W x 27" D firing chamber gives you 7 cubic feet of capacity — a solid working footprint for pottery, sculptural work, and full shelves of student or production pieces.
It fires up to 2350°F (Cone 10 range), which covers the full ceramic spectrum — earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, and high-fire glaze work.
The ET27 runs on 240V — most home and small commercial shops have this available. Total draw is 11,500 watts at 48 amps.
Included with every order
heat-reflective stand (a Cress innovation — they were first to include this), full operator manual, a 3 year limited warranty through Cress, and free freight shipping to the US Lower 48.
You'll pick your digital controller at checkout. Cress kilns are designed around Bartlett-built controllers (Cress is part of the Bartlett family). Most buyers choose the Prodigy Touchscreen Smart Controller — a full-color touchscreen with intuitive ramp-and-hold programming, real-time monitoring, custom firing profile storage, and built-in safety diagnostics with over-temperature alerts and data logging. Not sure which controller fits your workflow? That's exactly the kind of thing we help with.
A note on lead time: Cress kilns are made-to-order at their facility in Carson City, Nevada, with current lead times running roughly 8-12 weeks. Give us a call before ordering and we'll confirm current production estimates.
