Jen-Ken AF Mega Coil 2431 3" Ceramic Kiln — High-Capacity Studio Workhorse

The Jen-Ken AF Mega Coil 2431 3" is engineered for production studios, schools, and clay programs that need dependable, spacious firing capacity with minimal maintenance. With its deep 31" chamber and wide firing platform, this kiln handles large batches, tall forms, platters, and multiple shelves of pottery with ease — perfect for busy classrooms and high-volume makers.

Built with premium 3" firebrick and Jen-Ken’s oversized Mega Coils, this kiln delivers exceptional heat retention, long element life, and fast, simple coil replacements — often in under 10 minutes. Solid-state relays come standard for smooth, silent power delivery and long service life, while the included lid lifter makes loading effortless, even with frequent firing cycles.

Designed for reliable Cone 5–6 production firing, the AF Mega Coil 2431 can also support slower high-fire cycles when needed. Choose between a 45-amp plug-in configuration (NEMA 6-50P) or an upgraded 55-amp direct-wire option for enhanced performance during extended or higher-temperature use.
