It comes with a two year warranty and ships motor freight.

Solid State Relay

A Solid State Relay is hands down the best investment you can make in your kiln!

The relay is what controls the power cycling of the elements in the kiln and they need to be able to withstand a ton of power as they do so. The solid state relays are incredibly efficient compared to the standard mechanical relays and are able to operate at much faster speeds. What this equates to is incredibly tight temperature control for accurate firings, longer element life, and savings on your electrical bill!

The standard mechanical relays have moving parts which cause wear and tear over the years and will eventually need to be replaced; however with a solid state relay it's likely to last the entire life of the kiln! You willsave money and time by never needing to worry about this in the future!

Controller Selection

Jen-Ken has close relationships with the manufacturers of a variety of digital controllers, such as those from SDS Industries and Orton. This means you will have nothing but the best the best in terms of performance and accuracy in your firings.

With a selection of multiple controllers available - you can choose exactly what fits your needs.

TAP Touchscreen Smart Controller by SDS Industries

The top of the line. The bread and butter. The cream of the crop. The controller for those who want to make their lives easier, improve their craft, and make incredible quality products.

This is our top selling controller - And for good reason!

The TAP Smart Controller is without a doubt the best choice on the market right now - It's easy to use, has stellar performance, and is packed full with features!

It has more memory than any other controller, allowing you to more easily utilize, revise, and save many different kinds of firing programs.

Storage for firing programs is virtually unlimited! Create as many profiles, with as many steps as you'd like - you won't be limited by this controller.

Our favorite part though: When ordered with the Wi-Fi Dongle, you can control everything from any device! Prefer to work on your computer or tablet - how about your phone?

With an internet connection to your TAP Smart Controller, updates from SDS Industries can be applied to your controller automatically - ensuring you always have the most up-to-date software for years to come!

Easily adjust the in-progress firing, skip steps, and view all graphical information on your firing with just a "TAP"!

The amount of time you save by working with the TAP Smart Controller pays for itself for years to come - you'll be so happy with this investment that you won't know how you managed so long without it.

The TAP Smart Controller supports the Loud Alarm option.

Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen Controller

The AutoFire Slide is the latest addition to the AutoFire controller family. It has all the benefits and features of the AutoFire 4000 with a user-friendly touchscreen interface.

Using P-I-D control algorithms to tightly control kiln temperature, this controller eliminates temperature cycling. Cycling occurs when the controller turns the kiln on or off in a way where the actual temperature does not closely follow the desired firing schedule, so this ensures your firing schedules are very accurate (Tip: Order your kiln with a solid state relay to close the gap even further!)

This controller allows the operator to create, program, and save 35 separate firing schedules with 20 user-defined heating and cooling rates, target temperatures and hold times. For glass crafters, ceramicists, and heat treaters alike - you’ll find maximum flexibility with your firing programs.

For you ceramic artists, this controller provides a quick selection of preset cone programs that are designed specifically for ceramic firings. Every cone-fire program allows the operator to set a preliminary preheat cycle for drying ware, an optional hold time at the final heating temperature for additional heat-work and an optional cooling cycle at the end of the heating cycle. Every cone-fire program also allows the operator to select an optional firing speed that can shorten or lengthen the firing time up to 40% for large or small kiln loads.

Orton AutoFire 12-Key (AF/AFG) Controller

AF 12-Key

The Orton AutoFire 3000 12-Key (AF/AFG) controller has 12 keys for programming.

The Orton AF 12-key supports up to 4 custom firing programs.

Orton controllers use P-I-D control algorithms to tightly control kiln temperature. This eliminates temperature cycling. Cycling occurs when the controller turns the kiln on or off in a way where the actual temperature does not closely follow the desired firing schedule.

Orton controllers store all of the program information in memory when shut off. This is helpful for if power is lost in the middle of a firing, the controller remembers how far the program has progressed and determines if it can resume once power has been restored.

The AutoFire controller can add hold time to firings already in progress, edit programs in progress, and even skip in progress! These are some of the most useful features that are offered in both the TAP and AF 12-key controllers.

FAQ - KILNS

What to consider when buying a Kiln

1. What are you firing?
Different materials have different temperature requirements. Pottery and stoneware need to reach cone 6–10 (around 2200–2350°F), while glass fusing works at lower temperatures but demands very precise, programmable cooling. Knowing your primary material upfront narrows your options significantly.

2. How much volume do you need?
Think about how many pieces you fire per week. Hobbyists and home studios generally do well with kilns under 5 cubic feet. Working artists typically need 5–10 cubic feet, and classroom or production studios often require 10+. A good rule of thumb: buy slightly larger than you think you need — you can always fire a half-full kiln, but you can't fire a piece that doesn't fit.

3. Check your electrical setup before you buy
Most mid-to-large kilns require a 240V dedicated circuit, which may need to be installed by a licensed electrician. Smaller kilns may run on standard 120V. Always check the kiln's amperage requirements against your existing panel before purchasing — electrical upgrades can add $200–$500 to your setup cost.

4. Manual vs. digital controller
Manual kilns use switches you adjust by hand throughout the firing, requiring you to stay close. Digital controllers let you program a firing schedule and walk away. For most potters today, a digital controller is worth the extra cost — the results are more consistent and the convenience is hard to give up once you've had one.

5. Don't forget ventilation
Kilns release fumes from clay, glazes, and organic materials during firing. A downdraft vent system is strongly recommended for any indoor studio. It protects your health, improves firing results, and extends the life of your elements. Budget around $150–$300 for a quality vent, and factor it into your total setup cost from the start.

6. Think about long-term running costs
The purchase price is just the beginning. Heating elements need replacing every 100–200 firings ($100–$300 depending on kiln size). Electricity costs $2–$8 per firing depending on your kiln size and local rates. You'll also need kiln furniture — shelves, posts, and stilts — which are typically sold separately and are essential from day one.

What size kiln do I need for my studio?

The right size depends on how much you fire and how often. Hobby potters or small home studios generally do well with a compact kiln (under 5 cubic feet), while working artists and classroom studios benefit from a larger kiln like the Olympic Champ XL. Consider how many pieces you fire per week — if you're constantly waiting to fill a small kiln, it's time to size up. It's usually better to buy slightly larger than you think you need.

What's the difference between a top-loading and front-loading kiln

Top-loading kilns are the most common for pottery and ceramics. They're more energy-efficient, easier to load evenly, and generally more affordable. Front-loading kilns (also called car kilns or door kilns) are better suited for large sculptural work or production studios where loading heavy pieces at waist height is more practical. For most potters, a top-loader like the Champ XL is the right choice.

What electrical requirements does this kiln need?

Electrical requirements vary by kiln model and size. Many mid-size and larger kilns require a dedicated 240V circuit, while some smaller models may operate on 120V. It is important to check the kiln’s specifications for the correct voltage, amperage, outlet type, and breaker requirements before installation. A qualified electrician should handle installation if a new circuit or outlet is needed. Never use a kiln with an outlet or circuit that does not match the manufacturer’s requirements.

Can I fire both pottery and glass in the same kiln?

Yes, in some cases — but it depends on the kiln and how you plan to use it. Many electric kilns can be used for both pottery and glass, but the firing schedules for each are very different. Glass typically requires slower, more precise heating and cooling cycles to help prevent cracking, while pottery firing follows different temperature and timing needs. If you plan to fire both, a kiln with a programmable controller is especially helpful for managing and switching between firing programs. Always check the kiln manufacturer’s recommendations before using it for multiple materials.

What cone temperatures can this kiln reach?

The cone temperature a kiln can reach depends on the specific model. Many ceramic kilns are designed to fire anywhere from low-fire ranges like cone 06–04 up through mid-fire and, in some cases, high-fire ranges such as cone 8–10. Always check the kiln’s product specifications to confirm its maximum cone rating and make sure your clay and glaze are compatible with that firing range.

Do I need a kiln vent, and is one included?

A kiln vent is strongly recommended, though it may not be included with your kiln purchase. During firing, kilns release fumes from clay, glazes, and organic materials — these can be harmful in an enclosed space. A downdraft vent system pulls air through the kiln and exhausts it outside, protecting both you and your work. Even if your studio has good airflow, a dedicated vent improves firing results and extends the life of your elements and lid.
