All Kiln Features & Benefits

Easy Maintenance, Durability, Precision Firing

Durability

Discover L&L’s exclusive ceramic element holders that protect kiln elements, ensure easy maintenance, and deliver consistent, reliable firing results.
STOP BREAKING PEEPHOLE PLUGS. Solid large non-tapered peepholes allow a wider view into the kiln. The peephole plugs are made from solid ceramic and are not as fragile as hollow-type plugs used on competitors' kilns.
The Quad Element System offers a robust element for extended longevity under production conditions. Standard on eQuad-Pro and JH Series. Optional on most other kiln series.
Ceramic protection tubes shield the thermocouple tips, preventing oxide dust from contaminating the kiln during firing.
Industrial-grade ceramic terminal blocks make changing elements easy. All contact between elements and wire lugs is over a wide surface of heavily torqued stainless steel washers.
Thick 8-gauge thermocouples last a long time. Special Limit of Error to ANSI MC96.1 specifications is used.
Aluminized stands are solid and corrosion-resistant, offering full, robust support under the kiln.
Utilizing corrosion-resistant materials and methods results in a long-lasting kiln
EXTRA SPACE GIVES YOUR WORK BREATHING ROOM. Arched sides on DaVinci kilns are very strong and promote good air circulation.
4-1/2" STRONG FIREBRICK ARCH IS BUILT THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY. Arched roofs are the time-proven way to build a long-lasting front-loading kiln
A thick welded steel case holds up better to corrosion over time, ensuring the kiln's exterior remains pristine.
Type S Platinum Thermocouples are the best high-temperature thermocouple for ceramics. Standard on JH Series kilns; optional on most other kilns.

Performance

Allows for cooling without opening the door, enhancing safety and efficiency during the cooling phase.

Ease of Use

Opens wide for loading. A feather-light spring hinge allows full access without a side support bar, making loading and unloading effortless.
EASY-LIFT LID SAVES ON WEAR AND TEAR. All but the T3400 DaVinci lids can easily be lifted by one person. T3400 models need two persons to lift.
STRONG AND SECURE. Two strong door latches secure the door. They are adjustable.
All stainless hinge used on top-loading kilns that are 8-sided or less, providing durability and ease of access.

Support

LET OUR EXPERIENCE WORK FOR YOU. The combined experience at L&L Kilns in kilns, ceramics, electrical engineering, and process engineering is unsurpassed. We work as a team to help you get your answers and help.
School-Master School kilns come with a special five-year limited warranty, specifically designed for K-12 educational institutions.
Most L&L Kilns come with a three-year limited warranty, providing peace of mind and assurance of quality.
Easy-Load and Bell-Lift Kilns come with a two-year commercial limited warranty, ensuring reliability for commercial operations.

Serviceability

THIS IS THE SAFEST AND EASIEST KILN TO WORK ON. The Control panel pulls down easily and remains perpendicular to the element box for very easy access. All wiring is neatly laid out in a professional and industrial way with color coding and numbering for easy repair and troubleshooting. Best of all the double panel design results in cooler panels and longer control and relay life.
The sectional construction of our kilns allows for easy disassembly, transportation, and maintenance. This modular design is particularly advantageous for studios with space constraints or those requiring frequent relocation of equipment.
Jupiter kilns feature plug-in sectional construction, enabling quick setup and reconfiguration. Each kiln section has its control circuit and plugs into the panel. This setup offers flexibility and simplifies maintenance in busy studio environments. hotkilns.com
EXPAND AND CONTRACT YOUR DAVINCI KILN WITH THE ADJUSTABLE HINGE. Sectional kiln construction makes DaVinci kilns easy to move, set up and disassemble for maintenance. Kiln Sections all plug into a separate control panel making the kiln easy to take apart and reconfigure.

Safety

Most L&L kilns are ETL listed to UL499 and Canadian standards. Listed kilns include Plug-n-Fire, Easy-Fire Pottery Kilns, eQuad-Pro Professional Kilns, eFL Front-Loading Kilns, Easy-Load front-loading kilns, Jupiter Sectional Kilns, DaVinci Square & Rectangular Production Kilns, School-Master School Kilns, and Doll-Test Kilns.
EXTRA SAFETY FOR FRONT-LOADING KILNS. Shuts off power to kiln when the door is open

Control

The Genesis control includes a touchscreen interface and WIFI connectivity. The intuitive interface is easy to use and understand. A free phone app allows you to monitor your kiln remotely.
EVEN FIRING. MAKES LOADING MORE FLEXIBLE. ADJUSTS FOR ELEMENT AGING. The kiln control separately measures temperatures in the bottom, middle, and top of the ceramic kiln. It automatically adjusts the heat output of three kiln zones during the entire glaze or bisque firing.
EASY TO SEE AND PROGRAM THE CONTROL. Angled control panel makes viewing control and programming easier.
PLUG-IN PANELS MAKE SJUPITER SECTIONAL KILNS FLEXIBLE. Each kiln section plugs into the Jupiter control panel. Easy to remove or change kiln configuration.
PROFESSIONAL-GRADE WIRING. Wiring is neatly laid out using National Electrical Code and UL499 Standards
PROFESSIONAL AND CLEAN LAYOUT. DaVinci Panels are wired to industrial standards with a good clean wire layout.
ALLOWS THE SECTIONS TO PLUG IN WHILE SEPARATE FROM THE KILN. The control panel is mounted on a stand away from the kiln.
Solid State Relays are quiet and result in longer element life because the switching time is so fast the elements don’t heat and cool as much the way they will with regular mechanical contactors. The whole system includes heat sinks, a cooling fan, and extra safety relays.
