18-E 18x11 Glass Fusing Kiln: Start Fusing with Confidence

Looking for that next step in your glass journey? The Jen Ken 18-E Glass Kiln bridges the gap between hobby and business use.

The 18" x 11" chamber gives you room to create small plates and multiple jewelry pieces. This 240V kiln fits well in both home studios and glass business spaces.

What makes this kiln shine is its versatility. Both top and side elements work together for even heat distribution, which any glass artist knows is key for successful fusing and slumping.

The Orton Digital controller helps you manage firing schedules confidently, whether you're making a set of pendants or exploring new techniques.

Decades of glass artist feedback went into the 18-E design, focusing on what matters most - reliable temperature control and proven performance. Whether you're teaching workshops or expanding your creative possibilities, the 18-E gives you room to grow without overwhelming your space.

Each kiln arrives ready to create with an included stand and kiln wash. Add options like the viewing window or ventilation system to match your working style as your skills develop.

Optional Add-Ons for the Jen-Ken Kilns 18-E Glass Kiln 

Viewing Window: Adding a viewing port allows you to monitor your glass projects without opening the kiln, helping maintain stable temperatures throughout your firing schedule. This is especially valuable when working with precise techniques like tack fusing or watching bubble development.

Furniture Kit: The 15" shelf and post set gives you flexible positioning options for your pieces. Having multiple posts lets you create different levels for complex projects or maximize your firing space with multiple shelves.

Orton VentMaster: Proper ventilation removes fumes from glass materials and helps maintain even temperatures throughout your kiln. This is crucial for consistent results and studio safety, especially when working with certain glass types or in smaller spaces.

Solid State Relays: These provide smoother temperature control and longer element life compared to mechanical relays. They're especially valuable for detailed work requiring precise temperature control like pattern bars or intricate designs.
