Since most heat is absorbed by the glass rather than the kiln walls, firings cycle faster and cooling down is quicker as well, making multiple sessions per day feasible for glass painters and fusers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDesign and firing characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no dedicated shelf inside the kiln. You can use fiber paper on the bottom, Kaiser Lee board, or lava cloth to support your pieces. Remember: you can fire glass as fast as the glass can tolerate the heat, so pace your firings accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePower and durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Solid State Relay controls the power to the elements, delivering precise, fast cycling. SSRs are more efficient than traditional mechanical relays, providing tighter temperature control, longer element life, and potential energy savings. With no moving parts, a solid state relay reduces maintenance and is likely to last the kiln’s lifetime, saving time and money over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eController options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJen-Ken partners with trusted controller manufacturers like SDS Industries and Orton, offering a range of digital controllers to fit your needs.
