Jen-Ken AF3C 2422 Ceramic & Pottery Kiln – Spacious, Efficient, and Studio-Ready

The Jen-Ken AF3C 2422 is the ultimate home-studio kiln—offering the perfect balance of size, power, and performance. Its 22” depth makes loading and unloading simple and ergonomic (a favorite feature among the “vertically challenged”), while its 24” diameter provides ample room for a full 21” shelf or two half shelves, accommodating even larger pottery pieces with ease.

Built for both low-fire and high-fire ceramics, this kiln handles everything from bisque and glaze firings up to Cone 8 (2300°F). With a 42-amp draw and efficient heat distribution, it delivers reliable performance firing after firing, making it ideal for both passionate hobbyists and small production studios.

Powerful, Energy-Efficient Design

The AF3C 2422 is constructed from premium-grade materials for durability and longevity. Its efficient insulation and heat retention make it a dependable and economical choice for studios firing multiple times per week.

An optional Orton Downdraft Venting System adds precise zone control and improved air circulation for even firings throughout the chamber, while integrated Lid Lifters make operation effortless—you can open the lid with just two fingers.

Choose Your Controller

Every AF3C 2422 comes standard with the Orton AF3C 3-Button Controller (AF4X), a reliable, easy-to-use system preloaded with convenient cone-fire programs and precise digital control. For those seeking expanded capability, several upgrade options are available:

  • Orton AutoFire 12-Key Controller (AF/AFG) – Supports multiple thermocouples for zone control, with multiple custom program slots for precise and repeatable firings.

  • Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen Controller – PID accuracy plus intuitive touchscreen interface and up to 35 programmable firing schedules.

  • TAP Touchscreen Smart Controller by SDS Industries – Wi-Fi connectivity, real-time monitoring, automatic updates, and unlimited custom programs for ultimate control.

Optional Upgrades to Enhance Performance

Solid State Relays (SSRs) – Whisper-quiet, accurate firing cycles with extended component life. Ideal for long holds, glass work, and frequent firing schedules.

Furniture Kit – Includes shelves, posts, and kiln wash for multi-layer firings. Perfect for bisque, glaze, and mixed-media projects while ensuring even heat circulation.
