PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ABOUT

The AF3C 2822 3" Ceramic Kiln is essentially the same as the AF3C 2422 3" (linked) but offers a larger size, making it ideal for firing both low-fire ceramics up to cone 6 and high-fire ceramics up to cone 8 (2300°F).

This reliable and efficient kiln is built for frequent use and multiple firings each week, making it perfect for production work rather than hobbyist use.

With 3" brick walls and lid, it provides superior insulation, offering 20% greater energy efficiency than traditional brick kilns.

Optional Lid Lifters reduce effort when opening, while seamless integration with the Orton Downdraft System ensures even, consistent firing. Additional zone control options are available for precise and uniform results.

KEY FEATURES

  • Best for: Low and high-fire ceramic/pottery; fires up to cone 6 for low-fire ceramics and up to cone 8 (2300°F) for high-fire pottery projects.

  • Great for Home Studios and Workshops: This kiln is essentially the same as the 2422 3", with the added benefit of 4" more height and 28" in width, providing a larger capacity for bigger pieces.

  • High-Performance Production Kiln: Ideal for high-volume firings without overworking

  • Easy Access: Lower height makes it simple to reach the bottom of the kiln for loading/unloading--great for the "vertically challenged"!.

  • Spacious Interior: Accommodates most large pieces, with enough room for full 21" shelves or two half shelves.

  • 3" Brick High-Fire Brick: This kiln body, made of 3” brick offers 20% more insulation than standard bricks, enhancing energy efficiency and maximizing heat retention during firings.

  • Lid Lifter Option: Optional lid lifters, available at an additional cost, significantly reduce lid weight, making it easier to open and close.

  • Venting & Zone Control Options: Compatible with the Orton Downdraft System for effortless venting and zone control during firings.
