Gas Powered! No Electricity needed!
Table Top Kiln
for
Glass Beadmakers, Glassblowers, Lampworkers
Marblemakers and Flameworkers

Yes, that's right a gas powered kiln! Portable, compact and less expensive. Perfect for those who are on the go. Use it at shows and demonstrations where there is no electricity. Sit on the beach in Mexico an blow glass. Use it if you you have no or limited electrical power. Use it if your power company turned off your electricity for non payment! Just insert a common propane torch through the hole in the side of the kiln. A pyrometer, purchased separately, is necessary to measure temperature. This bead kiln is made with insulated fire brick. This style kiln has the unique feature of being gas powered, no electricity needed! All kilns should be kept 12" from any flammable materials. But remember gas kilns like this one are not as easy to adjust the temperature as an electric kiln.

Why have a side door opening for a glass bead kiln?
- Comfort. Sure, one could put a mandrel into any kiln. But when you lift the lid a blast of 1000 degree heat will hit you. The unique feature (invented by HotGlass) of this bead kiln is a side door opening. This allows you to insert beads through the side without much heat discomfort.

Check out this feature!
Built in bead rack that holds many times more beads than any other kiln the same size!
Close up view of the side opening.
Even though the opening is only
6½" wide by 2¼" high, many beads can
be stacked upward. Notice from this picture how many beads are
just on the left 2" of the kiln. (The photo is of the 9"
kiln, the HG6B6 kiln will be 2½" smaller than what
is pictured.) Pictured on the right is the optional glass rod
holder. Place glass rods on this rack to preheat the ends. When
you are ready to use that color, simply remove the rod and go
directly into the torch flame. This eliminates the need to preheat
the tip of the glass rod in the torch! See the web material on
the top of the picture. That is HotGlass's unique high temperature
fiber cloth door. We pulled the cloth up to expose the inside
of the kiln for this picture. This cloth door covers the door
to keep much of the heat in the kiln. Because it is flexible,
the cloth will bend around any mandrels or glass rods protruding
from the kiln.
Shipping Disclaimer
We require that the shipping costs for all orders including kilns be calculated by
our customer service representatives; the shipping that you are quoted in check
out may not necessarily reflect the actual shipping cost of the kiln, as kilns must
be shipped separately. You will be contacted by one of our customer service
representatives once your order has been processed and your shipping costs
have been figured accurately.
