Jen-Ken AF3P Vitri Barrel Glass Kiln – Deep Vitrigraph Power & Modular Fusing Option
The Jen-Ken AF3P Vitri Barrel is the deepest vitrigraph kiln in its class, built for serious cane-pulling and molten glass stringer work. With an 11" diameter and 9" depth, plus supercharged double-layer side elements, it heats fast and holds stable flow temperatures with ease—no struggling to stay molten.
This flexible design transforms from a dedicated vitrigraph kiln into a fusing, casting, and low-fire ceramics kiln with the optional solid bottom, shelf kit, and stand. Order in one piece or as a three-piece configuration for easier handling.
Controlled by the Orton AF3P 3-button controller (standard and only option), programming is simple, reliable, and repeatable. An optional solid-state relay upgrade provides smoother power cycling and quieter operation.
