Measuring 4" deeper than other models, the kilns are still easy to access, available in a variety of chamber sizes, and able to fire pieces up to 18" tall.

What's more, their Cone 10 capability (excludes the EX-381 Single Fire , 208V model) allows maximum flexibility for firing low-fire and high-fire pieces.
