Whether you're firing small ceramic pieces, experimenting with new materials, or refining your craft, the Hot Shot 1200C delivers powerful results in a compact footprint—all while keeping safety, efficiency, and ease of use at the forefront.

All variations of the HS-1200C comes with a 12-month warranty.

Hot Shot ovens and kilns are equipped with Patent Pending Cool-Touch Fan Cooling Technology that provides a safe external temperature to allow for safer operation and protection of its surroundings. Each oven comes with a removable high density kiln floor. This is ideal to assist with project setup or if it needs to be replaced. It features a dual layer air plenum for external heat management and precise temperature control.

When selecting a Hot Shot oven, you can choose between the standard NOVUS Controller or upgrade to the Genesis Spark or TAP Pro Controllers. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which suits your needs best.

Novus Controller

The Novus N1030T SET & GO combines precision and simplicity, featuring a high-performance PID algorithm for accurate and stable temperature control. Its user-friendly "SET & GO" operation lets you set the desired temperature, and the controller seamlessly handles the heating process to achieve and maintain it. With an integrated timer for added flexibility, this dependable and cost-effective controller is the standard choice for the HS-1200C kiln, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.

Genesis Spark Controller

The Genesis Spark is a dynamic touchscreen controller that expertly manages kiln temperatures, making it perfect for firing a variety of materials such as metals, ceramics, and jewelry. It comes with industry-specific presets and can store up to 30 custom programs. Wi-Fi capability allows for software updates, diagnostics, maintenance logs, and automatic PID adjustments. The controller pairs with the Bartlett KilnAid app, enabling you to monitor your kiln remotely and receive timely alerts.

TAP II Controller

Formerly equipped with the TAP I controller, this model is now available with the TAP II controller, offering a modernized interface and precise control over every firing cycle. Designed for both reliability and ease of use, the TAP II features a large, full-color touchscreen that makes setting up and monitoring your oven intuitive and straightforward.

Built-in Wi-Fi enables real-time syncing with the SDS online app, allowing users to manage firing schedules remotely, adjust programs mid-cycle, and review detailed logs — all from your phone or tablet. The TAP II also includes high-spec Special Limits thermocouples and a non-metallic faceplate that improves Wi-Fi performance and resists heat distortion.

With its blend of high-tech capabilities and simplified navigation, the TAP II delivers a seamless experience for hobbyists, professionals, and production users alike — making it easier than ever to achieve consistent, accurate results.
