This 10-sided round kiln features an interior diameter of 23” and a towering 29” interior height, resulting in a spacious 7.10 cubic feet of firing volume. Its generous depth is ideal for tall sculpture, multi-shelf configurations, and batch production. Whether you’re loading a class set of work or producing layered studio firings, the CT102329 Janus gives you the space and performance to handle it all.

The Janus configuration brings top and sidewall heating elements together, controlled by a built-in toggle switch that lets you select the right mode for your material:

• Glass Mode: activates the top and middle sidewall elements, creating an even heat ideal for fusing, sagging, and slumping larger glass projects.

• Pottery Mode: activates only the sidewall elements, providing the ideal heat profile for bisque, glaze, or high-fire ceramic work—including cone 10.

If your studio crosses disciplines—or you simply want more flexibility from one piece of equipment—the CT102329 Janus offers a professional-grade solution.
