The Jen-Ken AFG JK2 (also known as the JK² or JK Squared) is a 27" x 11" glass kiln designed for top and side firing, giving you versatile options for your glass work.
Top and side firing versatility
Designed to handle both top and side firing, this kiln provides flexible access and even heat distribution for a variety of glass techniques.
Standard controller and upgrade options
- Includes the Orton AutoFire 12-key controller by default.
- Optional upgrade path to a TAP preprogrammed digital controller for enhanced features and control.
Solid State Relay advantages
A Solid State Relay powers the kiln elements with fast, precise switching, delivering incredibly tight temperature control, longer element life, and potential electricity savings. Unlike mechanical relays with moving parts that wear over time, a solid state relay is built to last the life of the kiln, reducing maintenance and downtime.
Controller options and what it means for your firing
Jen-Ken collaborates with controller manufacturers like SDS Industries and Orton to offer top-tier digital controls. The TAP Touchscreen Smart Controller by SDS Industries is highlighted as a premier option, combining ease of use with robust performance and expansive firing capabilities.
- Memory and storage: more capacity than traditional controllers, making it easier to save and manage firing programs.
- Program flexibility: create multiple profiles with as many steps as you need.
- Remote access: when paired with a Wi‑Fi Dongle, control is possible from any connected device.
- Automatic updates: software updates from SDS Industries keep your controller current.
- In‑progress firing control: adjust on the fly, skip steps, and view graphical firing information with the TAP interface.
- Loud Alarm option: TAP supports this feature for audible alerts when a firing completes or an issue occurs.
