Hot Shot Oven and Kiln - HS18A Annealing Kiln (On Hand Now)

Cool Touch Technology

The Hot Shot 18A Annealing/Heat Treat Oven/Kiln is equipped with Cool-Touch Technology that provides a safe external temperature to allow for safer operation and protection of its surroundings. Each oven comes with a removable high-density fiber kiln floor. This is ideal to assist with project setup or if it needs to be replaced. It is built with a high-quality 304 stainless-steel core construction with a fan-cooled external powder-coated enclosure. It features a dual-layer air plenum for external heat management and precise temperature control. 

Cooling Fan

The Hot Shot 24 Clamshell comes standard with a rear-vented cooling fan. The oven fan turns on automatically when the kiln is in operation. While the cooling fan stays on, the outer surface of the oven will stay within 68°F/20°C of room ambient. Please make sure to keep the fan unit at least 3 inches from any wall or obstruction.

Solid State Relays INCLUDED (WOW!)

All Hot Shot ovens come standard with a solid-state relay. Having a solid-state relay eliminates the distractive clicking noise that a mechanical relay makes. A solid-state relay is also more dependable and provides a longer life expectancy than a mechanical relay. Best of all, Solid-state relays deliver better

Cutting Edge Performance

High-efficiency technology allows you to reach the maximum temperature of 1100F degrees with the use of the on-screen controller. This unit is equipped with a kiln type “K” thermocouple and 16AWG Kanthal A-1 heating element.

Each piece of insulation is routered to fit perfectly together. This allows for the oven to maintain the temperature perfectly and not fluctuate due to gaps or poor fit. Each piece is routered to fit the heating elements/quartz tubes perfectly, so it has a snug fit. Each oven comes with a removable high-density kiln floor. This is ideal to assist with project setup or if it needs to be replaced.

Bartlett Genesis Spark

The Genesis Spark is a versatile touchscreen controller that regulates the temperature in your kiln so you can fire a variety of products like various metals, ceramics, jewelry, and more. Most Hot Shot Ovens can be upgraded to the Genesis Spark (excluding Glass Ovens). The Genesis Spark has presets per industry, and 30 custom programs, along with Wi-Fi capabilities for software updating, built-in diagnostics,
maintenance logging, and automatic adjusting PIDs. You can use this controller with your Barlett Kiln Aid app to monitor your controller remotely and get alerts about your kiln’s firing.

Upgrade to TAP Controller from SDS Industries

The Most Advanced Kiln Control Technology Available! TAP (Temperature Automation by Proportional-Integral-Derivative) is the first commercially available consumer kiln controller that utilizes an intuitive graphical user interface to enable the glass or ceramic artist to immediately start programming and operating their kiln.

For all of us less technical, regular folks... this means an interactive touch screen! TAP is designed with similar functionality to many current 3-key and 12-key controllers, such as an Orton AutoFire® 3000 or the Sentry 2.0 Controller. However, its new technology provides the user with easier programming, more memory, and ultimately more control.

This Controller will come with a WiFi Dongle which is a plug and play device that functions as a receiver for your controller.
