Since the 1970s, our 18-E glass kiln has been a cornerstone for artists seeking reliability and performance. Featuring a 15" shelf capable of accommodating pieces up to 10.5" square, this kiln combines top and side firing capabilities to ensure even heat distribution across your glass and ceramic projects. With the option to add a  viewing window, you can monitor your creations without disturbing the firing process.

Equipped with the renowned Orton Digital 3-key controller (AF4X) as standard, precise temperature control ensures optimal firing conditions for every project. This controller comes with preloaded firing schedules and 25 blank user programs. With the option to upgrade to the Orton AutoFire 4000 12-button controller, AutoFire Slide or the TAP II Touchscreen Controller, you’ll gain even more features and ease of programming.
