KILNS
The Easy-Load Professional-Grade Front-Loading Kiln meets the needs of schools, studios and potters who need a well-built easy-to-load cone 10 kiln. The proven technology of the Dyna-Trol Program Control automates the firing process. The even element spacing and built in standard zone control ensure even heating. The insulation system features an arch (on all but the smallest model), 3" of firebrick with 2" of mineral wool back-up, and a plug door. The arch brick is 4-1/2" thick. All firebrick sections have interlocking heat-locks to prevent heat leakage. All EL kilns are listed with MET to UL499 Standards.

NOTES FOR INSTALLATION:

  • You will need a forklift or a pallet jack to move the kiln.

  • Each model includes angle-iron braces in the front and the back to make it possible to lift kiln up with forks or pallet jacks.

  • The door hinges in such a way that the door face when fully open is no wider than the depth of the kiln. This means that you do not have to remove the door when moving an EL2424, EL2436 or EL2448 through a 34-1/2" wide standard door. See the general dimension drawings for a good visual picture of this.
