Jen-Ken starts with its traditional 3" Brick Kiln by adding one super heavy-gauge Mega Coil to each full brick.
In just about 10 minutes, you can effortlessly change a coil on your own, keeping your creative process uninterrupted. This design ensures minimal downtime – no waiting for repairmen! Plus, if there's ever a controller issue that can’t be resolved immediately, you can simply package it up and send it back to the Jen-Ken factory for expert servicing.
Equipped with the renowned Orton AutoFire 12-button controller with 25 blank user programs as standard, precise temperature control ensures optimal firing conditions for every project. With the option to upgrade to the AutoFire Slide or the TAP II Touchscreen Controller, you’ll gain even more features and ease of programming. Solid-state relays included.
