As Evenheat says: Better by Design!
Top Load
The HF 2327 boasts a vertical loading configuration with a chamber that measures 23.5 inches in diameter and 27 inches deep. Capable of daily cone 10 firings.
Lid Handle
Evenheat recognizes the significance of handles in kiln design. The correct size and shape of handles are essential for the intended purpose. The lid handles provided by Evenheat for the HF Studio Series perfectly illustrate this principle, featuring a 13" handle meticulously crafted for comfortable grip and smooth operation. These wide, corner-mounted handles facilitate confident and effortless lifting, even when gloves are worn. They distinguish themselves from others on the market, delivering an enjoyable user experience.
Dyna-Lift Lid Lift Assist
All High Fire studio models are equipped with Evenheat's Patented Dyna-Lift lid lift assist as a standard feature.
The Dyna-Lift dramatically reduces the effort needed to operate the kiln lid, achieving this task with smooth and graceful ease, and without any adverse effects on the kiln.
Notable characteristics of this design include its lack of a connection to the kiln body, a single-point lifting system, and a focus on allowing the lid to operate naturally.
In contrast, competing lid lift designs attach the lifting mechanism directly to the kiln itself.

Swing View Equipped
For the HF 2327, temperature control is effortlessly woven into Evenheat's Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.
Imagine a swiveling, lift-up masterpiece – this enclosure lets you dance with the control panel, adjusting it to your preferred angle for a seamless view and programming experience. And when the curtain falls on your creative session, simply lower it back into position, offering a clear view from any corner of your studio. It's a performance of simplicity and efficiency.
The Swing View harmonizes exquisitely with touchscreen controls like the TAP I and Icon+, ensuring a symphony of perfect viewing angles. Its user-friendly elegance is sure to take a standing ovation from your studio audience.
3" Firebrick with No Loss in Chamber Volume
As the story of kiln design unfolded, the 2-1/2" firebrick played a foundational role. However, with the rise of high-temperature requirements, the 3" firebrick took center stage, prompting many kiln manufacturers to alter their course. They opted for a reduction in the firing chamber's size to accommodate the thicker insulation while leaving the kiln's external dimensions untouched.
However, Evenheat embarked on a unique journey. Rather than shrinking the chamber's size, they retained its ample interior space and expanded the external dimensions. This innovative approach safeguards the chamber's capacity, ensuring a seamless fit for standard kiln furniture. This thoughtful design decision reflects a commitment to preserving compatibility and user-friendliness.
Swing-Away Peephole Covers
Evenheat's kiln designs embrace swing-away peephole covers, diverging from the traditional use of plugs.
Conventional plugs often have a habit of getting lost or damaged as time passes. In contrast, Evenheat's integrated peephole covers stay firmly attached to the kiln, enabling effortless swinging open and closing. This design ensures that they won't go missing or endure damage.
Lid Security Bar
The HF 2327 is thoughtfully equipped with a lid prop bar, expertly crafted to securely hold the lid in an open position. This convenient addition seamlessly complements our carefully engineered lid handle, enhancing the ease and smoothness of the kiln's operation.
Relay Access Port

Users can effortlessly remove the access plate to directly access the mechanical relays, eliminating the necessity of removing the control panel or dealing with intricate internal wiring. This process is remarkably straightforward and efficient, requiring only a screwdriver.
Recognizing that mechanical relays may encounter issues over time, Evenheat's introduction of the relay access port proves to be an invaluable resource during such situations.
While Pottery Pulse highly recommends the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system, for those with budget considerations, this feature stands out as a practical and accessible option.
Single Maintenance Line
Evenheat stands by the use of a solid stainless jacket design. A solid jacket signifies exceptionally robust construction—no gaps, no shifting, and built to endure.
In its deep 27" High Fire models, they incorporate what they refer to as a "maintenance line." This division allows the chamber to be partially disassembled for maintenance and delivery purposes.
The Maintenance Line is securely anchored through the use of stainless steel plates and screws. By simply removing the screws, you can separate the sections for maintenance or installation.
Unlike the use of buckles, which have a tendency to loosen and permit shifting during loading, unloading, and use, this method ensures stability and reliability.
The HF 2327 presents an array of Multi-Zone control choices, featuring the RampMaster II, Icon+, and TAP I. These Multi-Zone controls rely on multiple thermocouples (temperature sensors) to ensure remarkable temperature uniformity within the firing chamber.

When exploring Relay Technology, it becomes evident that Solid-state relays (SSRs) offer a robust and dependable alternative to conventional mechanical relays, known for their moving parts and electromagnetic coils. SSRs employ a solid semiconductor mechanism, eliminating mechanical wear and delivering significant advantages in kiln temperature management.
Benefit 1 - Exceptional Durability: SSRs are renowned for their extended lifespan, resistant to the mechanical wear and electrical arcing common in mechanical relays. The familiar clicking sound often associated with kilns signifies the operation of mechanical relays, which over time leads to wear and the need for costly repairs. Conversely, Evenheat's SSRs offer silent and reliable operation that seamlessly aligns with your kiln.
Benefit 2 - Superior Temperature Precision: Mechanical relays have limited cycling frequencies to prolong their lifespan, while SSRs can cycle as frequently as 120 times per second, enabling swift adjustments and unmatched temperature precision. All Evenheat controls, including the standard Icon controller, benefit from the rapid cycling of SSRs to ensure precise temperature control.
Benefit 3 - Prolonged Heating Element Life: SSRs incorporate Zero Crossing technology, engaging and disengaging at the zero-voltage point of AC power cycles. This significantly extends the lifespan of heating elements by ensuring they operate at optimal voltage, reducing wear compared to mechanical relays lacking this feature.
Design Excellence - 30 Amp Capacity: Evenheat carefully selects SSRs with a 30 amp rating but operates them at a cautious 15 amps, providing a significant safety margin for reliable performance. This practice ensures SSRs remain well within their derating curve, promoting cooler operation and enhanced longevity, all upheld by Evenheat's commitment to quality.
Design Excellence - External SSR Heatsinks: Effective cooling is essential for the longevity of SSRs. Evenheat addresses this by externally mounting SSR heatsinks, improving airflow and preventing heat buildup inside the control enclosure. This design approach minimizes heat transfer between the control enclosure and the SSR, with standoffs creating a gap for cooling air. This meticulous approach guarantees that SSRs function at their optimal capacity, as evidenced by an impressive six-year track record of zero failures.
