Constructed with a robust stainless steel jacket and supported by an 18” tall metal stand, the GF3ETLC is designed for durability and long-term performance in any studio environment. The lid lift assist feature makes it easy to open and close the kiln, even when working on larger, heavier projects. The Bartlett 3 Key electronic controller simplifies the programming of your firing schedules, allowing you to set and adjust ramp-hold programs with ease for consistent, high-quality results.

For artists who demand more control and flexibility, the GF3ETLC offers a range of optional upgrades. Enhance your kiln’s capabilities with the Genesis touchscreen controller or the 12-key digital KilnStar controller, both of which provide advanced ramp-hold programming features like delay start, preheat, and skip step. Additional options include an automatic lid shutoff switch to ensure no electricity is flowing to the elements when the kiln is opened, flash arm for quick venting, and quartz glass viewing windows for real-time observation of your projects.
