RM 1822
The RM 1822 is by far the most popular personal-sized ceramic kiln model, and for good reason. It's big enough to fill up yet small enough to run a partial load. It fires everything from low-fire decals to the upper reaches of cone 8. It fits well into any small studio and the kiln shelves are very manageable and easy to load. On top of that, firing performance is spot-on. The RM 1822 is the perfect, personal ceramic and pottery kiln!
The RM 1822 features our TAP II, Icon+, Icon and Rampmaster II controls and is standard equipped with our exclusive Swing View Adjustable Viewing which you will absolutely enjoy.
Order yours with our Quiet Drive Solid State relay option for tight temperature control and longer element life.
Features
Top Load
The RM 1822 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 17.5" diameter x 22.25" deep. The RM 1822 is, and always has been the most popular size for the individual ceramic artist. Width and depth are perfect, shelves and ware are easy to load and the firing results are beautiful.
Wonderful Lid Handle
We love handles. Handles have to be properly sized and shaped for the job. Our lid handles make this point by offering an 8" handle that's easy to grasp and operate.
These wide, corner mounted handle allows for confident and easy lifting, even with a gloved hand. It's unlike any other and it's a joy to use.
2 Position Lid Vent
The RM 1822 is equipped with a 2 position lid vent. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.
Swing View Equipped
The RM 1822 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.
The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
Swing-Away Peephole Covers
Our kiln designs feature swing-away peephole covers as opposed to plugs.
Plugs get lost and they get broken. Our attached peephole covers remain on the kiln and simply swing open and closed. You won't lose them and they certainly won't break.
Lid Prop
The RM 1822 is provided with a lid prop bar that positively keeps the lid in the open position. Simple operation is made even easier with our well designed lid handle.
Relay Access Port
The RM 1822 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement.
Simply remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relays. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a screwdriver!
It's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.
Full Stainless Steel Jackets
Multi-section, multi-jacketed kilns were conceived to lower production costs for the kiln manufacturer and to make life easier for the person installing the kiln. These are worthy goals but they come 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 stainless jackets mean absolutely solid, life extending construction. There are no leaks, no shifting and no weakness. Insist on Full Stainless Jackets for true build quality.

Our Brushes are a wide and very soft brush used to apply shelf primer.
Kiln Wash - 1lb (Dry)
Kiln wash creates a layer of protection between the kiln shelves and your ceramic ware as it prevents your ware from sticking to the shelf. It is generally applied using a soft brush like our Haik brush. It can also be airbrushed on with the proper equipment.
Our kiln wash is made in-house. We've been told it's some of the best there is. It's supplied in dry form and is mixed with water for application onto the kiln shelves.
