Jen-Ken Ceram-a-Glass Kilns are dual-media kilns, built to fire both glass and ceramics and designed for artists who are passionate about a diverse range of fired arts!
The large CAG Oval has a spacious 39” x 24” x 18” interior and fits two 21” x 18” D-shaped kiln shelves that create a 21” x 36” oval-shaped layer with a seam in the middle. The largest square piece that can fit on a D shelf is 15” x 15”.
This model includes lid lifters for easier opening and closing. The kiln’s 3-inch thick bricks provide 20% more insulation, saving you energy and money!"
Glass/Ceramic Switch: We've enhanced the functionality of these kilns by adding a convenient switch mechanism. Simply toggle the switch up to put the kiln in glass mode or toggle the switch down to put it in ceramic mode.
Glass Mode: In glass mode, with the switch toggled up, a uniform blast of heat from the lid coils evenly heats the glass on the kiln shelf, while the middle-side coils help the kiln reach optimal temperature. It's perfect for glass fusing, slumping, and annealing.
Ceramic Mode: Ceramic mode, with the switch toggled down, allows for precise side firing of ceramics and glazes up to cone 6. It’s also ideal for prolonged holds and extended annealing processes required for thicker glass projects like sinks and pot melts, or high-temperature glass techniques like screen melts, boiling glass, and glass casting.
Equipped with the renowned Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Button Controller with 25 blank user programs as standard, precise temperature control ensures optimal firing conditions for every project. With the option to upgrade to the AutoFire Slide or the TAP II Touchscreen Controller, you’ll gain even more features and ease of programming.
