Control

Genesis Touch Screen 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.
Automatic Zone Control
EVEN FIRING. MAKES LOADING MORE FLEXIBLE. ADJUSTS FOR ELEMENT AGING. No need to pay extra for this important feature! Zone control on an electric kiln gives you the utmost controllable temperature uniformity. The kiln control separately measures temperatures in the bottom, middle, and top of the ceramic kiln and automatically adjusts the heat output of three kiln zones during the entire glaze or bisque firing.
Angled Control Panel
EASY TO SEE AND PROGRAM THE CONTROL. Angled control panel makes viewing control and programming easier.
On-Off Switch and Panel Fuse
WHY WOULDN'T YOU HAVE AN ON-OFF SWITCH? All L&L Kilns come with an on-off switch and panel-mounted control fuse. We do not rely on kiln control to keep the kiln off.
Mercury Free Contactors
HEAVY-DUTY. Power Relays are mercury-free to comply with increasing regulations and concerns about mercury. Solid State Contactors are available as an option on most L&L Kilns.

Serviceability

Easy to Remove & Service Control Panel
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.

Durability

Protected Thermocouples
KEEP YOUR WORK CLEAN. Ceramic protection tubes protect the end of the thermocouple. Keeps the oxide dust from the thermocouple tip from getting into the kiln while firing.
Heavy-Duty Type K Thermocouples
HEAVY-DUTY. Thick 8 gauge thermocouples last a long time. Special Limit of Error to ANSI MC96.1 specifications is used.
Hard Ceramic Element Holders
NO PINS TO REPLACE AND DAMAGE YOUR FIREBRICK! Durability, Repairability, Better Heat Transfer. The smooth, hard surface of the inside ceramic channel allows the elements to expand and contract freely. The dense ceramic holders extend element life because they do not insulate the hot elements from the kiln interior.
Solid Wide-View Peephole Plugs
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.
Molded Ceramic Element Connections
NO CRIMPING! EASY TO CHANGE. 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. Wires are not crimped to element ends as in some other brands. This means you can change elements yourself without buying an expensive tool or hiring a kiln repair person.
Stainless Clips Secure Lids to Bands
PROTECT AND SUPPORT. Stainless Steel clips help the lid stay secure and durable. This extra step ensures that the lid won't slip out of the stainless steel band.
Extra Case Clamps
Three case clamps per 9" high kiln section are redundant safety for your L&L kiln.
Corrosion Resistant Case
KEEP YOUR KILN LOOKING NEW. Corrosion resistant materials and methods result in a long-lasting kiln.

Performance

Thermal Ceramics Firebrick
K23 firebrick combines good insulation with strength

Support

Three-Year Limited Warranty (Standard)
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL. Most L&L Kilns have a three-year limited warranty.
Superior Technical 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.
Visual Detailed Instruction Manual
LIKE HAVING A KILN LIBRARY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. The combined experience at L&L Kilns in kilns, ceramics, electrical engineering, and process engineering is unsurpassed. We provide a visual parts list with photographs, part numbers, prices, and helpful information to reduce confusion when ordering parts. We also include well-vetted information and wisdom from our industry partners to ensure our customers have access to all the basic information necessary to be successful from the first firing.

Safety

Door Shut-Off Switch (Easy-Load, eFL Series)
EXTRA SAFETY FOR FRONT-LOADING KILNS. Shuts off power to kiln when the door is open

Controls

DynaTrol Keypad Control
Traditional 24-button Keypad control. This control can be substituted for any Genesis full-sized control.
Electronic High Limit Back Up Control
Electronic High Limit Back Up Control acts as an upper limit back up to the main control. Back up contactors are also available.
Solid State Relays
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 the will with regular mechanical contactors. The whole system includes heat sinks, special fast acting fuses, cooling fan and extra safety relays.

Thermocouples

Type S Platinum Thermocouples
Type S Platinum Thermocouples are recommended for high fire applications. NOTE: Price of upgrade is per each thermocouple.
Pyrocil Metal Sheathed Industrial Thermocouples
Pyrocil thermocouples are sensitive but limited to about 2200°F but offer greater sensitivity to temperature change and so may be appropriate in applications below 2200°F that require sensitivity. NOTE: Price of upgrade is per each thermocouple.

Vents

Vent-Sure Downdraft Kiln Vent System
A Critical component in the longevity of your kiln!The Vent-Sure automatic kiln vent helps prevent corrosion on the inside and outside of your kiln.
Vent Control Programmed on Genesis & DynaTrol
The Vent Control allows you to automatically control the operation of the Vent-Sure kiln vent with one of the outputs from the DynaTrol (or Genesis).

Kiln Furniture

Furniture Kits
Kiln furniture kits are the recommended set of ceramic shelves, posts and kiln wash that go with each kiln model. These are for loading the work in the kiln.
Safety Gloves
These safety gloves are perfect for handling hot work when unloading a kiln.

Power

120 Volt Power Supply & Electrical Noise Filter For Automatic Kilns
This option helps protect your control from electrical noise
