Hot Shot Features Full Stainless Jacket Multi-section kilns are designed to lower production costs for the kiln manufacturer. It's a worthy goal but it comes at the cost of kiln quality. It’s a trade off we’re not willing to make. We build our kilns with full stainless jackets from top to bottom. Full jackets mean absolutely solid, life extending construction. There are no leaks, no shifting, no buckles and no weakness. Insist on Full Stainless Jackets for true build quality. |

Hot Shot Features Corner Mounting Technique The corners of the kiln body and lid provide excellent strength for mounting. The flat sides of the kiln don’t offer this strength, especially on oval shaped kilns. We install our load bearing hinge and lid handle brackets on these corners for this reason. Longer life, high reliability: solid design makes a difference. |

Hot Shot Features Properly Sized Kiln Stands We don’t design our stands to fit into our kilns for shipping. We design our stands to support our kilns in use. Our stands properly distribute the weight of the kiln and are made wide to prevent tipping or offsetting. You won’t find our stands in our kilns but you’ll be happy to know they’re beneath them. |

Hot Shot Features 2 Position Lid Vent The Hot Shot is equipped with a 2 position lid vent. Lid venting helps remove burn-off from adhesives and paints and comes in handy during the cooling process. |

|
Hot Shot Features Responsive Thermocouples Our thermocouples (temperature sensors) are chosen for their quick response and reliable performance. Our standard thermocouple is a Type K. |
|

Hot Shot Features Lid Power Interrupt Switch Option Our optional automatic power interrupt removes power from all heating elements as the lid is opened and reapplies power as the lid is closed. The switch used for this feature is a true safety switch and is designed specifically for safety applications. Those wishing to enter the kiln during firing should strongly consider requesting this option as an added measure of safety. |

Hot Shot Features Tall 16" Stand Option The Hot Shot is stock equipped with an 8" stand. We do offer a taller 16" stand for those who wish to raise the kiln. |

Hot Shot Features Vent System Option
Evenheat offers the Orton Downdraft
Vent System as an option. Is venting necessary in glass work? That depends.
Vents are nice if you're firing paints, decals or other items that may need
oxygen to develop color properly. Vents also help to remove the fumes which may
be generated when firing these types of items. Typical fusing and slumping don't
require a vent. Evenheat offers the Orton kiln vent systems exclusively. Orton’s
reliable and well considered designs fit well with Evenheat designs and we’re
pleased offer their products. Excellent Temperature Distribution
Evenheat glass kilns are true to
their name and the Hot Shot is no different. Our designs are well known for
their excellent temperature uniformity. They’re done well and you’ll appreciate
the performance. Shelves We recommend using a shelf for all firings in the Hot Shot. The Hot Shot uses a 12” round shelf. Keep in mind that the shelf must be primed before use and that we do recommend uses posts below the shelf.
We recommend using posts to
bring the shelves off the kiln floor. This helps to heat the shelf evenly while
reducing and eliminating bubbles. While we do offer a wide selection of post
heights we do recommend the use of either 1” or 2” posts. We also recommend
using at least 4 posts to support each shelf. Suitability
The Hot Shot is designed to fire
glass and is quite capable of all glass related firing up to 1650°F (900°C),
such as painting, fusing, slumping, casting, etc. It should be noted that the
Hot Shot is designed to fire a single layer or shelf. The nature of the Hot Shot
is to provide heat from the lid elements directly to the shelf containing the
glass. Attempting to fire glass below the top shelf is likely to lead to
frustration and disappointment.
