Jen-Ken AF Mega Coil 2822-3" Ceramic & Pottery Kiln — Production-Ready Power, Easy Maintenance
The Jen-Ken Mega Coil 2822-3" is built for busy ceramic studios, schools, and community programs that fire frequently and need reliable, efficient performance with minimal downtime. With a spacious 28" wide chamber and 22" depth, it comfortably accommodates larger work while staying ergonomic for loading and unloading.
Engineered for long service life, this model features Jen-Ken’s signature oversized Mega Coils — thick, heavy-gauge elements that last significantly longer than standard kiln coils. Better yet, they are designed for fast, simple replacement: most users can swap a coil in about 10 minutes, keeping your studio running without service calls or downtime.
A 3" brick body delivers superior insulation and energy efficiency for consistent firings, while solid-state relays come standard for quiet, smooth power delivery and extended electrical component life. Lid lifters are also included, making operation effortless even during long firing schedules.
This kiln excels at frequent Cone 5–6 production firing and is capable of reaching higher temperatures (up to 2300°F / Cone 8) when programmed slowly, making it ideal for studios doing functional pottery, glaze work, and repeated bisque cycles.
