Production Potter Resource Page

Production potters make their livings with their hands and their kilns. Durability, temperature uniformity, and reliable temperature control are essential to success in firing and maintaining a kiln.

Durability

  • Production pottery is hard on kilns. Constant loading and unloading can really take its toll on the soft firebrick grooves that typical kilns have. That's when you need L&L's hard element holders - they protect the delicate firebrick from loading damage.
  • This mean cost savings and, more importantly, less downtime.

The Best Warranty

  • L&L kilns feature a three-year warranty.
  • L&L has the best warranty in the kiln business. Our durability and quality control make this possible.

Save money on repairs

  • Repairs are less frequent because of the durable ceramic element holders.
  • L&L kilns are specifically designed to make it easy for almost anyone with no prior training in kiln repair to do the job. When you consider that a typical kiln repair person charges over $50 to $75 an hour, that can add up fast. 
  • Because you can control your repairs, you have control over your schedule. 
  • Fantastic video-based web support and personalized phone support.

Sophisticated controls

  • The DynaTrol is totally configurable for just about every imaginable firing cycle you can invent. The DynaTrol has Four Easy programs and six programs you can program yourself. Get exactly the effects you need. Everything is there to do something very complicated like growing crystals or something simple like bisquing pots. And yet it is still easy to use.
  • Zone control will ensure evenness of firing, better colors, less chance of warpage. Zone control is critical for densely loaded production loads.

Testimonials

"I make a living out of my five L&L kilns. I really beat them up firing them at least three times a week to cone ten. They take a real beating and keep on going."

We fire all our tiles in 3 commercial L&L DaVinci kilns. For the past 7 years each of the kilns have been fired to cone 9 an average of three times a week. The majority of the tiles are crystalline glazes and the firing programs are complicated and can run up to 15 hours with long soak periods at high temperatures.

Willi Singleton was trained in Japan. He digs his own clay. He wood fires in his own anagama kiln. He bisques in an L&L.
