No assembly required
Solid steel case (11 gauge) with separate but attached welded square tubing stand. Feet include anchor pads with anchor points.
Heavy-duty door hinges to the left (special option allows it to be hinged on the right). Door opens all the way so that the door opening is completely unobstructed.
The welded angle-iron stand is separate but attached to the case. It includes leveling bolts and holes for anchoring the kiln to the floor.
A proprietary brick coating is applied to all interior surfaces of the kiln. This is put on before the element holders are inserted. This coating penetrates the firebrick and fuses the surface on a microscopic level which helps prevent dusting and crumbling of the fragile firebrick.
Solid ceramic peephole plugs with full 1” diameter. Two total: one per section.
Limited Three Year Warranty
DynaTrol Multi-Program Zone Control
Two control zones with two separate thermocouples. More about zone control.

Durability

Arched Roof (Hercules & Easy-Load)
Arched roofs are the time-proven way to build a long-lasting front-loading kiln
Hard Ceramic Element Holders Make L&L Kilns More Durable
Durability, Repairability, Better Heat Transfer. The smooth, hard surface of the inside ceramic channel allows the elements to expand and contract freely. No pins! The dense ceramic holders extend element life because they do not insulate the hot elements from the kiln interior.
Molded Ceramic Industrial-Grade Element Connection Blocks
Industrial grade ceramic terminal blocks make changing elements easy.
Powder-Coated Thick Welded Case (Hercules & Easy-Load)
A thick welded steel case holds up better to corrosion over time.
Proprietary Reflective Coating Hardens & Seals Brick
Special brick coating hardens and seals brick for durability and cleaner operation.
Thermocouple Protection Tubes
Mullite protection tubes extend thermocouple life and keep kiln clean. The mullite protection tube keeps the metal oxides of the thermocouple tip from dropping off and contaminating your work.
Thick 8 Gauge Thermocouples
Thick 8 gauge thermocouples last a long time. Special Limit of Error to ANSI MC96.1 specifications is used.

Performance

Automatic Zone Control
Zone control gives you the utmost in controllable temperature uniformity. The DynaTrol separately measures temperatures in the bottom, middle and top of the kiln and automatically adjusts the heat output of three zones during the entire firing.
DynaTrol Multi-Program Zone Control
DynaTrol with 4 Easy-Fire programs (Slow Bisque, Fast Bisque, Slow Glaze, Fast Glaze), 6 custom programs, PreHeat, Delay, Program, Segment Review, and Diagnostics. Zone control included on most kilns.
Manual Venting System for Cooling Front-Loading Kilns
This is for cooling purposes and does not replace the Vent-Sure automatic kiln vent.
Thermal Ceramics Firebrick
K23 firebrick combines good insulation with strength

Ease of Use

Solid Wide-View Peephole Plugs
Solid large non-tapered peepholes allow a wider view into the kiln.
Strong Door Latches (Hercules & Easy-Load)
