4477-Skutt Firebox 8 Kiln

Get the convenience of a table-top kiln with the added benefit of a hinged lid that opens over 90°. Perfect for fusing and slumping smaller projects, making bracelets, firing metal clay and enameling. The body of the kiln is buckled securely to the floor of the kiln, so it will not slip off if bumped. The easy-to-read digital pyrometer allows you to set and maintain holding temperatures accurately. Operates on standard 115v / 15 amp, so no special wiring is needed.

Fire molds up to 7" X 7" X 3". Firing chamber measures 8" x 8" x 4-1/2" deep. See specifications for full product details.

The FireBox 8 comes with a digital pyrometer that reads the temperature of the kiln chamber in degrees Fahrenheit. If you would like a pyrometer that reads in Celsius let us know at the time of the order. The Pyrometer comes with a thermocouple with wire, thermocouple mounting flange, a pyrometer mounting bracket (that can be mounted to the wall or set on any flat surface) and it even comes with handy little case to store the pyrometer.

The temperature rate (speed at which the kiln heats up) is controlled by the infinite switch on the kiln. It will take a while to learn the switch settings that create the rate increases you need. It absolutely imperative that you monitor the kiln at all times. When the kiln reaches the temperature you are aiming for you can turn the switch off or you can control the rate of cooling also by using the switch. if all this is too much for you you may want to upgrade to the FireBox 8×4 which has a programmable controller.
