The HotBox E: Unparalleled Performance in a Compact Package

Craft your creative vision with ease using the HotBox E, a versatile and powerful electric kiln that combines user-friendly operation with the precision of high-end equipment. Ideal for artists working in pottery, glass, or jewelry, this 120-volt powerhouse is compact enough for any studio yet robust enough to produce professional-quality results.

Simplified Control for Complex Creations

Every HotBox E model comes standard with the intuitive Genesis Spark controller. It is a versatile touchscreen controller that expertly manages kiln temperatures, making it ideal for firing a wide array of materials, including metals, ceramics, and jewelry. It features industry-specific presets and offers 30 customizable programs. With Wi-Fi connectivity, the controller supports seamless software updates, built-in diagnostics, maintenance tracking, and automatic PID adjustments.

Customizable to Fit Your Artistic Needs

The HotBox E adapts to your creative demands. Choose to expand its capabilities with an optional collar, either bead or blank, to reach firing temperatures of up to 2000°F and add an extra 4.5 inches of depth. For glass artists, the bead collar is a game-changer, offering a specialized door for the annealing process, ensuring your creations cool at the perfect rate to preserve their beauty and integrity.

Essential Accessories for Your Firing Success

The comprehensive Furniture Kit for the HotBox E is designed to maximize your kiln's space. It includes two layers of 5.5" x 5.5" shelving for efficient stacking of your ware, assorted small square posts to support your projects at varying heights, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash to keep your kiln clean and ready for action. This kit is an essential addition for serious artists.

Advanced Upgrades for Enhanced Operations

For those seeking even greater control over their firing conditions, the Solid State Relay upgrade is an excellent investment. This feature, suitable for up to 20 amps with 1 phase wiring, ensures smoother power control to your elements, leading to more consistent temperatures and extended element life.

Choose the HotBox E for a kiln experience that blends sophistication with simplicity, power with precision, and advanced features with absolute ease of use. Embrace the freedom to create, refine, and perfect your art with a kiln that understands your passion for perfection.
