This handy little kiln is a "gotta have" for any studio, be it personal or business. Compatibility testing, color tests, small design elements, jewelry, seminars, you name it. It can even anneal. The point is, this kiln should be included in your tool and sales arsenals. Stock equipped with a manually controlled infinite switch and pyrometer. The Hot Box is designed to operate on a standard 120V outlet!!
 

Optional Viewing Window

Keep an eye on your glass firing without lifting a finger (or lid!!). The Hot Box is now available with a built-in viewing window. No guessing, no peeking, no prying. Just watch the magic through the viewing window. All four corners of the firing chamber are visible giving you full view of your glass as it gets worked by the heat. The viewing window is available as an option on new Hot Box orders. Just ask for it!!!! We are also offering a replacement lid with built-in viewing window for current Hot Box owners.

A quick word regarding the Viewing Window. Heat loss is greater at the viewing window than heat loss through the fiber lid. Because of this, it is not recommended that the windowed lid be used as the base.

Firing Chamber Dimensions and Options:

Firing chamber dimensions are 6" long x 6" wide x 4.5" deep.
 

Voltage Considerations:

The Hot Box is designed to work from a typical 120V household receptacle. Power Receptacle Configuration NEMA 5-15R

NEMA 5-15R

Suitability:

All glass related firing up to 1800°F (982°C), such as painting, fusing, slumping, Pate de Verre, etc.. The Hot Box is very useful for testing compatibility and seminar use. Every glass artist should have at least one of these in their studio.

It should also be noted at this point, that the Hot Box is designed to fire a single layer or shelf. It's just too darn small to try more than one! Attempting to fire glass below the top shelf is likely to lead to frustration and disappointment. So.....one shelf only. 

The Hot Box does have some applications in the "ceramic" world. It's very nice for China and Porcelain painting. Beyond that, typical Ceramic, Porcelain and Pottery is not really possible.
