Hot Shot Oven & Kiln HS-7GW Wax Burnout Kiln

The 7G Wax Burnout Kiln is designed specifically for lost wax casting, metal clay firing, enameling, and other precision studio applications. Its compact footprint and reliable temperature control make it an ideal solution for jewelers, knife makers, and artists who need consistent, repeatable results in a small studio-friendly kiln.

Built-In Burnout Venting

Designed for lost wax casting, this kiln includes a 0.75-inch vent hole with plug that allows proper ventilation during the burnout process. This feature helps wax exit molds cleanly, reducing defects and preparing molds for high-quality metal castings.

Versatile Applications for Artists and Jewelers

• Lost Wax Casting: Burn out wax cleanly to prepare molds for intricate metal designs.

• Metal Clay Firing: Achieve precise temperature control for strong, finished pieces.

• Enameling: Fuse powdered glass onto metal with consistent heat for durable finishes.

• Fused Glass Jewelry: Fire small glass components and jewelry pieces with precise temperature control.

Controller Options

The 7G Wax Burnout Kiln comes standard with the TAP&Go Single Setpoint Controller, a simplified controller designed for applications that don’t require complex firing programs. Simply enter your desired temperature and the kiln will automatically heat to that setpoint. TAP&GO Controller Manual

For artists who prefer expanded control and programming flexibility, two optional controller upgrades are available:

• SPARK Controller Upgrade – A modern full-color touchscreen interface that makes programming and monitoring firings simple. Genesis Spark Controller Manual

• TAP Controller Upgrade – A larger touchscreen controller with advanced programming features, scheduling options, and enhanced usability. TAP II Controller Manual

Choose the voltage that matches the electrical service where the kiln will be installed. Some kilns are available in only one voltage, while others can be ordered in multiple voltages. If both 120V and 240V are available, 240V is generally the preferred choice because it places less demand on your electrical system, while 120V offers the convenience of operating on a dedicated standard household circuit. If both 208V and 240V are available, select the voltage that matches your building's electrical service—240V is most common in homes, while 208V is common in many commercial, educational, and institutional buildings. If you're unsure which voltage you have, confirm it with your electrician before ordering.

Your kiln must be built to match the electrical service where it will be installed. Choose single-phase if that's what your building has (almost all homes do). Choose three-phase only if your building has three-phase power available. If both are available, three-phase is generally the preferred option. If you're unsure, verify the available electrical service with your electrician before placing your order.

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.)
