UltraLite Kilns are very energy efficient and only cost pennies per hour to operate.
Specifications:
The Beehive Pro design is so efficient it has a larger element with a larger heat sink but uses the same amount of electricity as the original Beehive model.
The Temperature controller is an ideal addition to your kiln.
The controller comes with a 6" cord and gives you a range from the maximum of 1550F down to 850F. There are 10 Identified settings on the controller.
By using the temperature controller you will greatly lengthen element life by reducing the stress on the element by operating it at lower temperatures.
High temperature Metal Clay Firing disks create an ideal environment to evenly distribute heat for firing Metal Clays. They are not recommended for enameling.
Specially formulated Brass plates are placed securely on the top of the kiln providing the ideal surface and temperature to perform the ancient process of Keum-boo, fusing fine Gold to Silver.
