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 choosing your Hot Shot oven, you can opt for the standard TAP&GO Controller or upgrade to the Genesis Spark or TAP II Controllers. Here’s a quick comparison to guide your choice.

TAP&GO Controller

Genesis Spark Controller

The Genesis Spark is a versatile touchscreen controller that precisely regulates kiln temperatures, making it suitable for firing a range of materials, including metals, ceramics, and jewelry. It includes industry-specific presets and allows for up to 30 custom programs. With built-in Wi-Fi, it offers features like software updates, diagnostics, maintenance logging, and automatic PID adjustments. You can also monitor your kiln remotely through the Bartlett KilnAid app, receiving real-time alerts and updates.

TAP II Controller

This model features an upgrade option to the advanced TAP II controller, designed to offer precise temperature control through a clear, full-color touchscreen. Its intuitive layout simplifies the process of setting up and monitoring firing programs from start to finish.

With built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, the controller works seamlessly with the SDS online app, allowing you to manage schedules, review logs, and make real-time adjustments remotely. It also includes Special Limits thermocouples for accurate readings and a non-metallic faceplate that enhances wireless performance and durability.

Whether you’re firing daily or occasionally, the TAP II delivers a dependable, user-friendly experience that supports both consistency and flexibility in your workflow.

Argon provides an inert atmosphere and is usually delivered at dew point less than -75°F with an oxygen content below 20 ppm. An atmosphere of Argon can be used for the following heat treatment processes:

• Annealing (non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and alloy steel)
• Brazing
• Sintering

Hot Shot offers this well designed and easily adaptable Argon kit for all your heat treating needs. Includes flow meter, tubing, fittings and ceramic dispensing needle. (Argon gas not included)

Higher voltage means lower amperage draw and greater efficiency, which can save money long term. 240V and 208V cost the same—most home studios use 240V, while 208V is common in schools or large facilities. Amperage refers to the amount of electrical current a kiln draws—higher amps require heavier wiring and breakers.

Single-phase is what almost all homes have. If your facility has three-phase, you can choose either—but three-phase is typically the better long-term option due to smoother power and improved efficiency.

Mechanical relays are standard and reliable. Solid-state relays (SSR) offer silent operation, faster cycling, greater precision, and longer lifespan—ideal for frequent or high-accuracy firings.

The following controllers are used across kilns sold by Pottery Pulse. Not all models offer every option—available controllers are listed on each product page. Some kilns include only the standard controller, while most allow upgrades for added precision and convenience.

Not all kilns can use a collar, but Olympic’s Hot Box kilns can be ordered with a collar to expand versatility. A blank collar simply adds height to the firing chamber, while a bead collar adds the same height and includes a built-in bead or annealing door for quick-access lampwork projects.

This safety feature automatically cuts power to the heating elements whenever the kiln lid or door is opened. It prevents accidental burns, protects elements, and resumes power only when safely closed. (Also called an automatic lid shutoff on Olympic kilns.)
