Model - GF514ETLC 240 or 208 volt, inside dimensions: 29" x 29" wide x 13.5" deep, fires to 1700° F
The GF514ETLC's square design expands the firing space provided by traditional cylindrical glass kilns and with its unique top and clamshell loading feature you get two kilns in one! You get the standard top loading model plus the clamshell loading which makes flash venting, glass raking and loading shelves with glass positioned easy and convenient.

Elements in the firing chamber are used to evenly heat the glass piece and the lid element is used when fusing temperature is reached. Models have a maximum temperature range of 1700°F to protect the optional quartz glass viewing window but can be reprogrammed to fire to higher temperatures.
