In 1953 father/son team, Ralph and Neil Skutt, manufactured the industry's first multi-sided hobby kiln in Olympia, Washington under the name "Skutt & Sons". The introduction of this new lightweight design revolutionized, not just the ceramic kiln business but the whole ceramic industry by bringing ceramics to the home. A lot has changed over the last 40 + years. Kiln companies have come and gone, new clay bodies and glazes are constantly being developed that demand greater firing precision, and automatic controllers are quickly replacing the once cutting edge KilnSitter. Throughout the years Skutt has worked hard to meet the changing needs of their customers, but one thing that has remained constant is their fierce dedication to manufacturing quality products and providing outstanding customer service. We realize that every object placed in a Skutt kiln has value. It could be a child's horse that looks more like a dog or a master potters $20,000 commissioned sculpture. Both of these artists are counting on their Skutt kiln to do it's job ..and Skutt doesn't want to let them down.
Production Series Kilns were developed initially to make it possible to fire some of our larger kilns to Cone 10 temperatures. This required using upgraded components like heavier gauge wires, more robust relays and ways of connecting the elements. The end result is a Kiln Series that requires less maintenance in Production environments. Production Series kilns can be equipped with either the KilnMaster Touchscreen or or standard KilnMaster Controller.

The Hinged Controller allows you to move the controller up and down to an angle that is comfortable for you to program. No more getting on your hands and knees. After programming you can push it back down so it is out of your way and easy to view from across the room. It has the Same Functions you have come to know and love from the standard KilnMaster Controller Plus More!
The KilnMaster controller has long been considered the standard of the industry. This controller comes with most of the features available on the new KilnMaster Touchscreen controller but does not include WiFi, an App for remote viewing, or Help Screens.
Big, Powerful and EASY TO USE.
The Skutt Oval was designed with 3 main objectives in mind: make it powerful enough to handle heavy loads, make it durable enough to withstand the rigorous demands of high volume production and make it easy to operate and maintain.
Powerful - At 23,600 Watts the KM1627 Oval is one of the most powerful kilns on the market giving you the freedom to fire as fast or slow as you want to Cone 10 temperatures.
Durability - Due to their enormous spans oval kilns have a history of cracking lids and slabs. Skutt solved this problem by introducing the first fiber lid oval kiln with a fiber insert in the base. The electrical components and wiring are industrial quality to minimize downtime and boost performance.
Ease - The light fiber lid coupled with our innovative lid brace design make opening and closing the kiln a one handed operation. The touchpad has been moved higher for easy access to programming. Like all Skutt kilns the new ovals are sectional making them easy to move, repair and disassemble for loading large pieces. The entire kiln can be assembled and disassembled in less then 10 minutes using only a screwdriver. Our new busbar element connection design makes changing elements a breeze.

High-capacity, Cone 10 Kiln
This high-capacity, Cone 10 kiln is ideal for sculpture artists and production potters working from home. Available in 1PH, it can be installed in most residential buildings. Like all of our Production Kiln (PK) models, it incorporates solid state relays, busbar element connectors, and heavy duty wiring. It also features Zone Control, dual lid braces, and lid lifter standard.
Finally, an electric kiln line designed specifically for volume production and fast turnaround of high mass loads. It has the power and industrial components to go straight to Cone 10 with a full load of tile or stoneware – no slow struggling to reach the final temperature. The standard KilnMaster controller gives you the options of Cone Firing, or selecting your own 8-segment Ramp/Hold firing programs. The combination of direct wiring, heavy duty elements, connectors and relays, plus traditional Skutt stainless steel and firebrick construction results in a kiln that will last for years of constant use. Among the most powerful on the market today, the line was designed at the request of Skutt customers.
Part of the New 22” Series, the KM1222-3 was designed to specifically meet the needs of the vertically challenged Potter or Teacher that needs a kiln short enough for them to easily load, yet large enough to meet the volume needs of a busy studio or classroom. At 22” deep it has a chamber that is 4.5” taller than its predecessor, the KM1218-3. This makes it possible to fire an 18” tall vase with all the proper clearances. It comes equipped with the precise control of the KilnMaster Controller making it easy and convenient to operate. Like all other Skutt !2 sided kilns, the spring-loaded Lid Lifter is included at no extra charge.
The KMT-1027 is known as a real powerhouse because of its large 7 cubic foot capacity and ability to fire to Cone 10. It is a great kiln for those who fire porcelain and stoneware. It has proven to be the most popular model in our KilnMaster line, and has earned a reputation as a kiln which fires evenly at high temperatures over and over again. Again, the addition of the Skutt EnviroVent will help get the most from this kin's automatic firing capabilities. Also available in three phase models.

Now your friendly eight sided Skutt electric kiln can give you precise firing control that was available only on top of the line models just a few years ago. It is a versatile Cone 10 kiln that is a great work tool for porcelain and stoneware artists. Easy to move and economical to operate, the KM-818-3 is the perfect kiln for home studios, too.
Porcelain doll makers love the KMT-714 because it can handle the components of most dolls in one load, and because it gives them better firing control. For studios firing one or more of our larger KM-series kilns, the KM-714 makes the ideal test kiln, because they can replicate firing programs precisely, regardless of the size of the kiln. The KM-714 electric kiln operates universally on 208V or 240V current.
The KMT-614-3 is the only electric kiln in the KM series that can be fired on common household 115C current using a special 30 Amp outlet. It is exceptionally handy for artists with limited space at home. The beginner can begin firing immediately - without a collection of pyrometer cones - and achieve consistently good results. Unlike many smaller kilns, it is a precision device suitable for serious jewelers and doll makers.

Great Cone 10 Test Kiln
This is a true Cone 10 Test Kiln.
Unlike most test kilns the GlazeTech is designed to run on 240V but still only requires a 20Amp breaker (208V models require a 30Amp breaker). This gives us the power we need to design a truly useful chamber size. It’s square design makes it perfect to fire test tiles on multiple levels and with it’s 9” depth you can actually test short cylinders to see how your glaze performs on a vertical surface.
Perfect for firing Porcelain Canvas™
The GlazeTech was originally developed at the request of Robin Hopper for his testing of the new Porcelain Canvas™ substrate offered through Ceramic Art Cart. With it’s 14” square chamber and 9” depth it is perfect for firing multiple levels of the Porcelain Canvas product.
Perfect Starter Kilns
Plugs into Househould Voltage
Nothing against electricians, but who really enjoys paying to have their house rewired. With the FireBox 8×4 LT you take it out of the box, plug it into any spare 120V outlet you have in the house and you are ready to start fusing. Okay, it does need to be a grounded outlet.
Stay Cool Handle
Glass fusers are always lifting their lids when their kilns are hot to take a peek. The wood handle on the FireBox 8×6 LT stays cool even when the kiln is at peak temperature.
Lid opens over 90 degrees
Why is this important you ask? We are glad you did. When the lid can open past 90 degrees it will not be in your way when you go to load your shelf. That’s it!
