How to add items

Models on this page (all available in standard or 3" brick):

J23 and JD23: 23" diameter, 4.7 cubic feet, Cone 5
J230 and JD230: 23" diameter, 7 cubic feet, Cone 10
J2918 and JD2918: 29" diameter, 6.8 cubic feet, Cone 5-Cone 10 

Note: Most people will want to purchase the similarly sized L&L easy-fire models as they are less expensive.  The main advantages of the Jupiter line is that they can be expanded later by adding rings, and they can accommodate special options such as a pull apart option to make it easy to load large pieces and sculptures.

JD230

Cone 10   (note)
23.3" round x 27" d (inside)
2.5" or 3" brick  (3" brick is 22.3" diameter)
User can easily remove one ring for firing smaller loads.  (Note that with 1 ring removed the kiln will only reach Cone 5 like the J23.)  Also, if you want the option to upgrade this kiln to a J236 or J245 at a later time, you will need a larger control panel which is a modest additional cost.  Please inquire about this if you are interested. 
7.05 cubic feet
Shipping weight  300 lbs
Comes with 50 amp plug
6-50R
Note: This a popular size kiln so we believe some explanation and guidance is in order.  The kiln is very similar to the easy-fire e23T's. The main differences are:
The control panel is only attached to 1 section on these Jupiters, not all 3 sections, so it is slightly easier to get apart.
The Jupiter has more flexibility if you want special options such as pull-apart, backup kiln sitter, powered bottom, etc. 
The J230/JD230/J230-3/JD230-3 are 44 amps, but the easy-fire e23T's are 48 amps.  If you are getting an electronic controller (JD models) and want the Jupiter, we recommend the JD230-3-EZ which has higher wattage elements so the kiln is 48 amps, like the e23T.
If you want higher power (which we recommend for Cone 10 firings) you could get a) the JD230S-3 which is 51.9 amps, 10800 watts at 208v and 12450 watts at 240v.  Or b) the JD230-3 with a powered bottom which is  51.3 amps, 12313 watts at 240v or 10668 watts at 208v.  Or c) The JD230S-3 with a powered bottom which is 60.5 amps, 14525 watts at 240v or 12600 watts at 208v.The first 2 require a 70 amp breaker, the last requires an 80 amp breaker.  All 3 must be direct wired (no plug)
