Load More with the ET2831 28x31 Pottery Kiln 

The ET2831 is a production kiln with 11.57 cubic feet of firing space in a 28.13" round by 31.5" deep chamber. Fire 60-100 mugs, 30-45 bowls, or 12-16 large platters in a single load*. The 3" brick walls hold heat efficiently, cutting your energy costs while firing consistently to Cone 10 (2350°F).

This kiln saves you time and money. Instead of running multiple smaller kilns or splitting projects across several firings, load everything at once. The electronic controller with five preset programs handles the technical details, freeing you up to create more work.

Built for busy studios, schools, and production potters, the ET2831 features a round design that eliminates corner dead space and maximizes every inch of the chamber. The heat-reflective stand protects your floor and improves firing efficiency from the bottom up.

 *Single load sizes & amounts may vary, the point is, you can fit a lot in this kiln!

Work Smarter and More Efficiently with the Cress ET2831 Electric Kiln

Monday: Load 200 pieces for bisque firing. Tuesday: Unload, glaze, and reload for Wednesday's glaze firing. Thursday: Pack and ship everything to customers. That's the workflow difference the ET2831 makes in your studio.

This kiln turns production challenges into opportunities. That 75-piece dinnerware commission that would have taken three firings? Now it's one. Those large garden sculptures that wouldn't fit in standard kilns? They fire comfortably in the ET2831. No more scheduling headaches or turning down projects because of kiln constraints.
