Excellent Temperature Distribution
Evenheat glass kilns live up to their reputation for outstanding temperature uniformity, and the Copper is no exception. Expertly designed for consistent performance, this kiln ensures reliable and even heating, making it a dependable choice for your projects.
Front Access
The Copper features a durable front-loading design, a hallmark of annealing ovens. Built to withstand frequent use, the door is expertly engineered to remain sturdy, travel smoothly, and maintain its reliability for the lifetime of the kiln.
Full Stainless Jacket
While multi-section kilns may reduce manufacturing costs, they often compromise quality—a trade-off we refuse to make. The Copper kiln is constructed with a full stainless steel jacket from top to bottom and front to back, ensuring unmatched durability and longevity. This design eliminates leaks, shifting, buckling, and weaknesses, providing a solid and reliable kiln built to last. Choose a full stainless jacket for superior craftsmanship and performance.
Responsive Thermocouples
The thermocouples are carefully selected for their fast response times and dependable performance, ensuring precise temperature control. The standard configuration includes a Type K thermocouple, with an optional upgrade to a Type S thermocouple available on Rampmaster-equipped models for an additional charge. (Contact Pottery Pulse directly if this is of interest.)
Standard Household Plug
If you choose the 120V model, the Copper is designed for convenience, operating on standard North American household voltage and equipped with a typical household plug.
Controller Options for the Copper Kiln
The Evenheat Copper Kiln offers a range of advanced controller options, including the Icon, RampMaster 3, Icon+, and TAP II. Each controller is designed with precision, ease of use, and innovative technology to meet the needs of artists and craftsmen alike.
Icon
Built on the groundbreaking Bartlett Spark platform, the Icon controller sets a new industry standard with its advanced touchscreen interface. After extensive field testing in collaboration with Bartlett and other industry leaders, the Icon proved to deliver an intuitive programming experience, a responsive touchscreen, and outstanding performance with the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay.
The Icon is equipped with Special Limits thermocouples for superior temperature accuracy and features a non-metallic faceplate for improved Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring seamless integration with Bartlett's online app. This combination of precision, innovation, and connectivity makes the Icon a premier choice for those seeking cutting-edge technology in kiln control.
RampMaster 3
The RampMaster 3 offers a more traditional interface, combining dedicated buttons with a clear display, making it ideal for those who prefer a straightforward and tactile control experience. Designed on Bartlett Instruments' V6-CF platform, it is highly effective for glasswork and other applications like heat treating.
Like the Icon, the RampMaster 3 includes a Special Limits thermocouple for accurate temperature readings and incorporates the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay for enhanced performance and reliability. This controller blends classic usability with modern advancements, providing a dependable option for artisans who value simplicity without sacrificing precision.
Icon+
The Icon+ builds upon the acclaimed Bartlett Genesis platform and elevates its functionality with Special Limits thermocouples and a non-metallic faceplate. These enhancements improve temperature accuracy and Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling flawless interaction with Bartlett's online app.

Quiet Drive Solid State Relay (SSR) for the Copper Kiln
The Evenheat Quiet Drive Solid State Relay (SSR) System is a cutting-edge innovation designed to deliver precise, consistent heating, ensuring exceptional results for your creative projects. By utilizing solid-state technology, this system sets a new benchmark in kiln performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Why are Solid-State Relays preferred?
Solid-state relays represent a significant advancement over traditional mechanical relays, which rely on moving parts that wear out over time. SSRs use solid semiconductors, eliminating mechanical wear and providing unparalleled temperature control.
Advantage 1 – Enhanced Longevity
Unlike mechanical relays that produce a telltale clicking noise and require regular maintenance due to wear, SSRs operate silently and are built to last. Free from electrical arcing and mechanical failure, Evenheat’s SSRs ensure reliability throughout the lifespan of your kiln.
Advantage 2 – Superior Temperature Control
While mechanical relays typically cycle every 10–14 seconds, SSRs can cycle up to 120 times per second. This rapid response allows for precise temperature adjustments, enabling unmatched consistency in kiln performance. Every Evenheat controller, including the advanced Icon and TAP II options, takes full advantage of this precise cycling to maintain accurate temperature regulation.
Advantage 3 – Extended Heating Element Life
Evenheat SSRs feature Zero Crossing technology, activating at the zero-voltage point of AC power cycles. This technology minimizes electrical stress on the heating elements, significantly extending their lifespan compared to traditional relay systems.
Key Design Features
-
30 Amp Capacity, Conservatively Operated:
Evenheat uses 30-amp rated SSRs but operates them at just 15 amps. This conservative approach provides a substantial safety margin, reducing heat and extending the lifespan of the relays while maintaining reliable performance. -
Externally Mounted Heatsinks for Superior Cooling:
Effective cooling is critical for SSR performance and longevity. Evenheat mounts the SSR heatsinks externally, allowing better airflow and preventing heat buildup inside the control box. Additional standoffs create an air gap for enhanced cooling, ensuring optimal performance and durability. This thoughtful design has resulted in a six-year track record of zero failures.
The Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system not only ensures precision and reliability but also enhances the lifespan of your kiln’s components, offering peace of mind and outstanding performance for all your firing needs.
