Vertical-Drop Door Kiln - Swings upward! Why a Vertical-Drop Door? There is heat on the inside of a kiln door. Kilns with swing out doors expose you to the hot inside door. But this Vertical-Drop door swings up never exposing you to that hot door. A digital controller which includes a pyrometer is included with kiln. This bead kiln, made with insulated fire brick, can also be used for fusing glass, ceramics, copper enameling, or many different uses. All kilns should be kept 12" from any flammable materials. The fiber cloth door covering pictured, is included free with the kiln.

Why have a side door opening for a glass bead kiln?

• Comfort. Sure, one could put a piece of glass or mandrel into any kiln. But when you lift the lid a blast of 1000 degree heat will hit you. The unique feature of this kiln is small door in the large door.
  • This allows you to insert beads or other glass pieces through the small door without much heat discomfort.
  • The side door is also great for preheating glass rods.
  • Premade glass pieces which will be intended to be removed for working in the flame can be passed to and from the kiln through the side door opening without much heat discomfort.

Important - Shipping Quotes are good for ONLY 24 hours! It's amazing, freight companies quotes can actually change from day to day. The quote we give you will probably change, usually by not to much. You would need to tell us if you want to be informed of the change (which might delay your shipment) or else we will just ship it and adjust your payment.

Also prices ar a bit higher these days because trucking companies are
now adding a fuel surcharge because of the current price of oil.

Shipping rates also depend on how rural the delivery location is, if delivery is residential or commercial, if lift gate is required - etc..
