This is the upgrade model to the original HotStart kiln! Now it is fully programmable, so this kiln can grow with you! You can program it for various COE glass lines, but still retain the preset programs for System 96!

• Top Fire, Top Load

• Standard Household Current

• Easily Fits 13-inch Shelf

• GlassMaster™ LT Controller

• 2-Year Warranty

• Unmatched SKUTT Quality

The Kiln: A SKUTT workhorse, built to last and backed with a 2-year parts & labor warranty. Top Opening: 15-inches, depth: 6.5-inches. Plugs into standard household current in US & Canada, both UL and ULC approved to 1700 degrees F.

The Controller: The new GlassMaster LT Controller, developed especially for the HotStartPro™ Kiln, is a "kid brother" to the legendary Skutt GlassMaster. This impressive unit is fully pre-programmed to successfully fire and anneal glass projects up to 3/8-inch (9 cm) in finished thickness. The controller is optimized for System 96 glass products. However, with the new HotStartPro™, the controller is now fully programmable with five customizable firing programs with 8 secments each. It even has an ultra-slow pre-set for casting.

The size of your project determines which of three firing speed options you select: Fast, Medium or Slow. Next, identify the Process you wish: Slump, Tack Fuse or Full Fuse. If you wish, stop there and the kiln is Ready to fire. Or, adjust the Process time and temperature -- it's as simple as the push of a button.

For example, the pre-programmed GlassMaster LT defines "Full Fuse" as 10 minutes at 1465 degrees fahrenheit. You can change that time and temperature to whatever you like, as often as you like, just as easily as you set your microwave oven. The Controller shows your current settings every time you fire, so there's never any confusion.

During firing, you can elect to ADD Time and / or ADD Temperature, in 5 minute increments, allowing precise control over heatworking. And, when your project is "just right," you can choose SKIP STEP and the intelligent Glassmaster LT jumps right to to the next segment.

The GlassMaster LT controller achieves fully automatic firing, and provides simple manual overrides for crafters who excercise precise control over their kilnforming.

The Accessory Kit: The HotStartPro™ comes complete with sturdy steel stand and porcelain peephole plug. The optional Accessory Kit includes a 13-inch round kilnshelf, three 1-inch posts, 8 ounces of shelf primer, and enough ThinFire shelf paper for three full-shelf firings. Although, this kit is "optional", you will not be able to use your kiln without some of these accessories.
