Cone 10 Capability with Ergonomic Bottom Loading
Model – TopHat 2314E 240 or 208 volt. Inside dimensions: 23 3/8" wide x 13.5″ deep, fires to cone 10/2350°F, built with 3" brick and lid element for even top-to-bottom heat. The lift-off bell design means you load from the bottom — no bending over a top-loader, no wrestling with a heavy front door.
✅ Best for: Potters and ceramic artists who want cone 10 capability with an ergonomic loading experience. The bell design is especially popular with sculptors and anyone loading tall or awkward pieces. Also works well for glass fusing and heat treating, making it a genuinely versatile kiln if you work across multiple media. Schools and studios that want one kiln to do it all often land here.
❌ Not ideal for: Pure hobbyists firing only small pieces — the Olympic HotBox or 129E is more cost-effective at that scale. If you need more depth than 13.5", look at the TopHat 2827E instead.
