Its 22" depth makes loading and unloading easy — especially helpful if you're on the shorter side.
It's designed for ease of use, with lid lifters that make it possible to open with just two fingers. Paired with the Orton Downdraft System (sold separately), the 2422 offers effortless venting and zone control for more even firings.
It fits through most standard doorways (smallest measurement 35") and has room for a full 21" shelf or two half shelves, accommodating square pieces up to 15" x 15". It fires low-fire ceramics and pottery to cone 6, and high-fire work up to cone 8 (2,300°F).

Frequently asked questions
What electrical service do I need?
Each model's voltage, amperage, breaker, wire gauge and receptacle or plug are listed in the Specifications and Electrical requirements above. Check your setup with our Electrical Readiness Checker, and have a licensed electrician confirm your circuit before the kiln arrives.

Jen-Ken's 3" brick offers about 20% more insulation than standard brick, for better energy efficiency and heat retention, and is suited to frequent, production-level firing. For this model, 3" brick is a separate model at additional cost. Ask us if you'd like a quote on it.
