Jen-Ken AF Ceram-a-Glass 2822 3" Kiln – Large Dual-Media Performance for Serious Creators
The Jen-Ken AF Ceram-a-Glass 2822 3" is built for artists who need serious firing capacity and the flexibility to work in both glass and ceramics. With a full 26" shelf capacity, 22" depth, and 3" brick insulation for superior heat retention and energy efficiency, this is a powerhouse dual-media kiln for ambitious home studios and professional makers.

Standard with the Orton AutoFire 4000 12-key controller, the 2822-3" offers reliable, repeatable control. Upgrade to a touchscreen controller for enhanced programming, mid-firing edits, and intuitive temperature control.
