Kiln Features
The KilnMaster Controller

Precision Firing - We give you two ways to achieve precise firings time after time.

Cone Fire Mode emulates firing to the maturing of a specific pyrometric cone, using a process patented by the Edward Orton Jr. Ceramics Foundation. The firing chart at left shows the KilnMaster intelligently works through the stages of maturity, slowing the temperature rate stages. Not only is every firing precise and repeatable, but you can also fire between cones by programming a Hold at the end of the firing.
Ramp/Hold Mode lets you design your own firing programs of up to eight segments. Each segment can include temperature rate, end temperature, and holding time. You can store up to six for instant reuse. These capabilities are essential for potters, glass fusers, enamelists and jewelers. For example, it is now easy to program crystal glaze pottery firings which require very long and precise soaks.

Convenience
The KilnMaster frees your time for productive activities. There are no more switches to be turned up, no more junior cones to buy, store or place. No longer do you have to adjust your schedule to the kiln. Simply program in a Delay so the kiln will finish firing when it’s convenient for you to be there. You can set an alarm to sound at a crucial temperature you’d like to monitor. View the display in degrees C or F. There’s a built in cone table for easy reference. To view the current firing segment, simply press View. If you forget which program is in memory, press Review, and you’ll see the entire program, segment by segment.

Programming Flexibility
You have the freedom to cross traditional boundaries while maintaining consistent results. Those working in glass can fire to specific temperatures. Potters working with crystal glazes can control the cooling side with utmost precision. Sculptors working with thick-walled pieces can program long soaks to prevent cracking. Your approach is no longer restricted by your equipment.

Ease of Programming
The sealed touch pad, shown at right, is designed with single function control buttons that are grouped to make programming a snap. There are no special codes to memorize—just follow the prompts. And the KilnMaster will store up to six firing programs in its memory, a convenient time saver.
