Brand New Controller
The GlazeTech now has a brand new controller that allows you to fire Glass and Ceramics. It even has built in programs for Precious Metal Clay. The perfect controller for any of your testing or other small firing needs. Here is what you get:
The Right Size, the Right Power, and the Right Control
When you are testing glazes you want to mimic the real world which means you need a kiln that can perform like your big kiln. It needs to be wide enough to test multiple samples, tall enough to test glazes on a vertical surface, powerful enough to match the firing profiles you will use in real life, and have the control to match those profiles on the heating and cooling side of the profile. The GlazeTech was designed to do exactly those things.
The Thermocouple
Balanced Elements
A large amount of the heat you lose in your kiln passes to through the lid and slab of your kiln. To compensate for this, Skutt directs more heat to these areas when they design the elements. The fact that Skutts have twice the element grooves in their kilns gives more design flexibility than some of the competitors. It also gives you more loading options since it is always recommended to have at least one element radiating between each layer of shelves. Twice the grooves means you get twice the amount of element wire, which means each element doesn’t have to work as hard, which means longer element life! Whew!
