Cress ET2418 Ceramic Kiln — Back‑Friendly, High‑Capacity Firing
The ET2418 blends generous firing space with studio‑friendly ergonomics. Its wide 23.38" decagonal chamber and 18" depth give you room to lay out mugs, bowls, platters, and decorative wares without twisting or reaching into a deep chamber. At 4.7 cubic feet, this kiln handles substantial loads while keeping loading and unloading comfortable.
Five Preset Programs for Consistent Fires
The digital controller offers five preset firing programs, eliminating guesswork and helping you reproduce reliable results across different clays and glazes. It fires from Cone 06 up to Cone 10 (2350°F), ensuring your work—from earthy stoneware to delicate porcelain—reaches the right maturity with predictable heat distribution.
Efficient Construction for Consistent Results
Three‑inch firebrick walls create a stable, efficient firing environment, minimizing heat loss and promoting even heat across the chamber. The well‑insulated interior, combined with a heat‑reflective stand, helps maximize energy use while delivering consistent temperatures throughout each cycle.
Smart, Space‑Saving Design
The decagonal layout lets you arrange wares across the chamber floor—back rows for platters, middle rows for bowls, and front files of mugs—without wasting space. A lower profile improves visibility and accessibility, making loading, monitoring, and unloading more comfortable during longer firing sessions.
