Orton VentMaster® (with downdraft ventilation)

With Downdraft Venting, the kiln is kept under a slight negative pressure. Gases are pulled out of the kiln near the bottom, mixed with fresh room air and exhausted to the outside through a duct. Improved air flow in the kiln results in more uniform temperatures, reducing hot and cold spots. 
Kilns cool faster when properly vented. In some cases, the kiln can cool down up to four hours faster, meaning you can empty and refill the kiln in less time.
Downdraft venting can also extend the life of the metallic parts of your kiln by removing corrosive fumes. This means longer kiln life and reduced repair costs.
