The CT122822 Viking is a 12-sided round kiln with an interior diameter of 28” and interior height of 22”, offering a generous 8.11 cubic feet of firing volume. It's the perfect blend of capacity and accessibility—wide enough for large platters and batch loads, yet shallow enough for ergonomic loading and unloading. Rated for cone 10 and optimized for high-volume work, it’s an ideal choice for production studios, ceramic departments, and institutions that can’t afford downtime.

What sets the Viking edition apart is its reinforced electrical and structural system, designed for longevity under tough conditions:

• Upgraded high-amperage components for continuous cone 10 operation

• Industrial-grade wiring and relays for better durability under frequent cycling

• Enhanced circuit pathways for improved power handling

• Heavy-duty case construction and internal bracing to support daily thermal stress

This isn’t just a kiln—it’s a dependable production tool engineered to run hot, hard, and reliably.

• 3” thick firebrick throughout for exceptional insulation and energy efficiency

• Sectional construction allows for easier maintenance, transport, and ring replacement

• Solid state relay (SSR) for quiet, long-lasting, and responsive control

• Reversible firebrick floor extends the lifespan of your kiln bottom

• Drop-down switch box, hinged at the base and supported by a fold-out arm, for easy servicing
