Evenheat Glass Kiln GTS 2541

The GTS 23 has been on the glass firing line since the beginning. Its large size and ample power make it a favorite for personal and professional studios. Small pieces can be loaded in volume while relatively large pieces can be created.

The GTS 23 features our TAP Touchscreen, Genesis Touchscreen or Rampmaster controls, Swing View Adjustable Viewing, 16" Wide Lid Handle, Full Stainless Jackets and Properly Sized Stand.

Order yours with our Quiet Drive Solid State output option for tight temperature control and longer element life.

The GTS 23 is designed to fire glass and is quite capable of all glass related firing up to 1800°F (982°C), such as painting, fusing, slumping, casting, etc. It should be noted that the GTS 23 is designed to fire a single layer or shelf. The nature of the GTS 23 is to provide heat from the lid elements directly to the shelf containing the glass. Attempting to fire glass below the top shelf is likely to lead to frustration and disappointment.

While the GTS 23 is designed exclusively for glass work it is possible to fire a variety of materials including metal clays, low fire ceramic, china paints and metals processing provided the firing temperatures do not exceed 1800°F.

Swing View Adjustable Control

The Swing View Adjustable Control is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows the user to rotate the Rampmaster control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. It's that simple. You're going to really enjoy this feature. The Swing View Adjustable Control is stock equipped on all GTS 23's with Rampmaster control.

Wide Lid Handle

The 16" lid handle on the GTS 23 is wide and easy to operate, even with a gloved hand. you'll absolutely love it.

Full Stainless Jacket

Multi-section kilns are designed to lower production costs for the kiln manufacturer. it is a worthy goal but it comes at the cost of kiln quality. It's a trade off we're not willing to make. We build our kilns with full stainless jackets from top to bottom. Full jackets mean absolutely solid, life extending construction. There are no leaks, no shifting, no buckles and no weakness. Insist on Full Stainless Jackets for true build quality.

Corner Mounting Technique

The corners of the kiln body and lid provide excellent strength for mounting. The flat sides of the kiln don't offer this strength, especially on oval shaped kilns. We install our load bearing hinge and lid handle brackets on these corners for this reason. Longer life, high reliability: solid design makes a difference.

Properly Sized Stands

We don't design our stands to fit into our kilns for shipping. We design our stands to support our kilns in use. Our stands properly distribute the weight of the kiln and are made wide to prevent tipping or offsetting. You won't find our stands in our kilns but you'll be happy to know they're beneath them.

3 Position Lid Vent Option

The lightweight lid created by the Dyna-Lift option allows us to offer a 3 position lid vent system. Lid venting helps remove burn-off from adhesives and paints and comes in handy during the cooling process.

The 3 position lid vent is only available when used with the OPTIONAL Dyna-Lift. It is not a standard feature.

Responsive Thermocouples

Our thermocouples (temperature sensors) are chosen for their quick response and reliable performance. Our standard thermocouple is a Type K. Type S thermocouples are available by request at additional charge.

Lid Security Bar Option

Dyna-Lift equipped kilns are provided with a lid prop bar that positively keeps the lid in the open position. Simple one handed operation is made even easier with our well designed lid handle.

The Lid Security Bar is only available when used with the OPTIONAL Dyna-Lift. It is not a standard feature.

Top and Side Fire Configuration

Evenheat pioneered the top and side fire glass kiln design. Top fire is essential in glass firing as it heats the glass surface uniformly. The addition of side fire provides heat to the lower portion of the kiln which helps to reduce and eliminate bubbles.

Excellent Temperature Distribution

Evenheat glass kilns are true to their name and the GTS 23 is no different. Our designs are well known for their excellent temperature uniformity. They're done well and you'll appreciate the performance.
