3" Firebrick with No Loss in Chamber Volume
Historically, kiln designs were primarily based on 2-1/2" firebrick. As 3" firebrick gained popularity for high-temperature applications, many kiln manufacturers chose to decrease the firing chamber size to accommodate the thicker firebrick, all while maintaining the same external dimensions.
Evenheat chose a different approach. Instead of reducing the chamber size, they kept it the same while increasing the external dimensions. This approach ensures that there is no loss in chamber volume, and standard kiln furniture can continue to fit perfectly. It's a thoughtful design choice that maintains compatibility and convenience.
Swing-Away Peephole Covers
Evenheat's kiln designs incorporate swing-away peephole covers, a superior alternative to traditional plugs. It's a smart choice!
Plugs have a tendency to get lost or damaged over time. In contrast, these attached peephole covers remain securely in place on the kiln and can be effortlessly swung open and closed as needed. You won't have to worry about losing them or dealing with breakage. It's a convenient and durable solution.
Lid Prop
The kiln features a lid prop bar that effectively holds the lid in the open position. This user-friendly design is complemented by a well-crafted lid handle, making the operation even more straightforward and convenient.
Relay Access Port
The HF 810 incorporates Evenheat's convenient Relay Access Port, making relay replacement a breeze without the need to remove the control panel.
To access the mechanical relays, simply remove the access plate – no complicated internal wiring or control panel removal is required. It's a straightforward and effective process that can be easily accomplished with just a screwdriver.
Since mechanical relays are prone to failure over time, this relay access port becomes especially valuable when replacement is necessary. It ensures a hassle-free solution when dealing with relay issues.
Full Stainless Steel Jackets
The idea behind multi-section, multi-jacketed kilns aimed to reduce manufacturing costs and make installation simpler. While these goals are admirable, they often lead to a compromise in the overall quality of the kiln—a compromise that Evenheat is not willing to make.
Evenheat's dedication to excellence is evident in their construction of kilns with complete stainless steel jackets from the base to the lid. This deliberate choice ensures unparalleled durability and longevity, resulting in a kiln that is free from leaks, instability, or structural flaws. When you choose Evenheat, you're choosing kilns built with full stainless jackets, where exceptional build quality is not just a feature, but a commitment.

Bid adieu to the challenges posed by mechanical relays and the expenses associated with their frequent repairs.
Embrace the innovation brought by Evenheat's Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System, a masterpiece of design devoid of moving components, ensuring a lifetime free from wear and tear. Revel in the system's superior functionality, delivering precise and regulated heating for enduring peak performance.
Understanding Relays: Solid-state relays (SSRs) stand as a robust and dependable alternative to traditional mechanical relays, which rely on physically moving metal contacts and electromagnetic coils. SSRs employ a solid semiconductor block without any moving parts, eliminating physical wear and offering significant advantages for kiln temperature control.
Benefit 1 - Lifelong Reliability: SSRs boast unparalleled longevity. Free from the mechanical wear of moving parts and the electrical arcing seen in mechanical relays, they outlast their traditional counterparts. If you've ever heard the repetitive clicking of a kiln, it's the sound of mechanical relays in action. Over time, this constant movement leads to wear and eventual failure, resulting in repair expenses. Evenheat's SSRs promise quiet and steadfast performance that endures as long as your kiln or oven.
Benefit 2 - Precision Temperature Control: Mechanical relays are bound by cycling limitations to balance control effectiveness and relay lifespan, typically capping at one cycle every 10 to 14 seconds. In contrast, SSRs operate at an impressive frequency of 120 cycles per second, enabling swift adjustments and exceptional temperature precision. All Evenheat controls, including the now-standard Icon controller that replaces the previous basic Set-Pro controller, leverage the rapid cycling capability of SSRs to ensure precise temperature management.
Benefit 3 - Prolonged Heating Element Life: Solid-state relays incorporate Zero Crossing technology, switching on and off precisely at the zero-voltage point of AC power fluctuations. This feature significantly extends the lifespan of heating elements, ensuring they operate at the ideal voltage and minimizing wear compared to mechanical relays lacking this technology.
Design Excellence - 30 Amp Capacity: Evenheat carefully selects SSRs rated for 30 amps but operates them at a conservative 15 amps, providing a substantial safety margin for reliable, sustained performance. This approach keeps the SSRs comfortably within their derating curve, even under a 15 amp load, ensuring cool operation and longevity, all backed by Evenheat's dedication to quality.
Design Excellence - External SSR Heatsinks: Effective cooling plays a vital role in SSR longevity. Evenheat addresses this by externally mounting SSR heatsinks, facilitating unrestricted airflow and preventing heat buildup within the control enclosure. This design isolates heat transfer between the control enclosure and SSR, supported by standoffs that create a cooling air gap. This meticulous arrangement guarantees optimal SSR performance, substantiated by an impressive six-year track record of zero failures.
