Jen-Ken Ceram-a-Glass 2822 is part of the Ceram-A-Glass series, engineered for artists who love both ceramic and glass firing. It operates in ceramic mode up to 2150°F and glass mode up to 1700°F, with an optional manual bypass to reach 2300°F. In glass mode, the top elements deliver a heat burst to quickly heat the glass on the shelf while some side coils assist in bringing the kiln to temperature and maintaining even heat distribution.
Dual-mode firing for ceramic and glass
Designed to cover two disciplines, this kiln switches between ceramic mode (up to 2150°F) and glass mode (up to 1700°F). If needed, a manual bypass lets you push to 2300°F. In glass mode, the top elements provide a heat burst to quickly raise temperature while side coils assist even heating and temperature stabilization on the shelf.
Power, reliability, and included accessories
The package includes Kiln wash, Stand, Manual, and a Solid State Relay. A solid state relay delivers faster, more precise power cycling than traditional relays, producing tighter temperature control, longer element life, and reduced electrical usage. Mechanical relays have moving parts that wear over time; a solid state relay is designed to last the kiln’s life, saving you maintenance and downtime.
Controller options for precision and convenience
Jen-Ken collaborates with top controller manufacturers like SDS Industries and Orton to offer digital controllers with strong performance. The TAP Touchscreen Smart Controller by SDS Industries is our top pick for ease of use, robust memory for storing multiple firing profiles, and virtually unlimited program steps. When paired with the Wi‑Fi Dongle, you can manage everything from a computer, tablet, or phone; automatic software updates keep the controller current for years.
