Low Fire Kilns

1. K-8 and sometimes high school kilns generally do not need to fire to a high temperature. Typically Cone 05 and 06 are as high as you need to go.
2. It is not recommended to mix high-fire and low-fire clay in a classroom because if you fire low-fire clay at a high temperature it will melt.
3. We make one series - the School-Master kiln that is optimized for this sort of firing.

Intermediate

1. Some specific models with specific voltage and phase combinations do not fire to Cone 10 because of power limitations. Use the Kiln Builder filter to determine this.

Cone 10

1. Most L&L kilns range in maximum temperature usually up to Cone 10.
2. This is mostly a function of kiln power available.
3. Even if you are not going to use the kiln to Cone 10 you will still benefit from the higher power available. As elements age the kiln firing will slow down. If you start with a more powerful kiln you will get more life out of your elements.

Cone 12

1. We do make a few models (JH Series) that are designed to fire above cone 10 by means of a longer soak (with the elements and brick to withstand this).
