The Cress ET2818 Ceramic Kiln blends generous firing space with a back‑friendly loading height, engineered for home studios, teaching spaces, and busy potters alike.
Spacious, back‑friendly chamber
The kiln’s interior measures 28.13" round by 18" deep, delivering 6.60 cubic feet of firing space. The circular chamber supports flexible loading—place pieces in circles, build efficient shelf grids, or reserve the entire chamber for larger projects. It accommodates everything from mugs and bowls to platters and sculptural works with room to spare.
Power, temperature, and heat retention
Capable of firing from low to high temperatures, it handles earthenware up to high‑fire porcelain, translating to a Cone 6 for porcelain and up to Cone 10 (2350°F) for stoneware. Thick 3" fire brick walls provide steady heat retention and even temperatures across the chamber. This model operates on 240V, 11.5kW, drawing 48A, and requires a 60A breaker and a 6‑50P receptacle.
Digital control, presets, and flexibility
A digital controller offers precise temperature management with five preset firing speeds and optional custom settings, enabling you to tailor cycles to your clay bodies and glazes with minimal fuss.
Durability, warranty, and certification
The ET2818 is built for studio use and sustained production, featuring robust insulation and heat‑reflective stand. It comes with a 3‑year manufacturer limited warranty and is UL/CSA certified to standard 499 for reliability and safety. The kiln is available as a sectional model (S) for easier installation.
Versatile use and practical setup
Ideal for home studios, classrooms, and active production, the ET2818 supports everything from a growing dinnerware line to test tiles for glaze development. It pairs well with rounds of mugs for a café project or with large platters for exhibitions, all while maintaining a comfortable loading height to support long studio days.
