Introducing The BigCeramicStore Trio Kiln

BigCeramicStore Trio kiln

The first kiln designed specifically for slumping bottles!  Not only was it designed to fit bottle slumping molds, you can still do all your other glass work in the same kiln.  Fusing, slumping, casting, even PMC and enameling.  There are no compromises!  

What make this kiln special?  We recognized that many people want to slump and fuse glass.  But they also want a kiln big enough to efficiently slump wine and beer bottles.  They don't have a high power electrical circuit available, so they want run the kiln on a regular household power receptacle.  If that describes you, then the Trio is the kiln to buy.

The Trio is  17.75 wide x 10.75" across x 6.5" deep (interior dimensions).  It features a Sentry Xpress 3-key Controller for multi-step ramp/hold glass firing.   You want to see what happening inside the kiln, so we included a 1"x3" quartz viewing window on the front.   The kiln is backed by Paragon's standard 2 year warranty.

You can buy just the kiln with shelf kit, or you can get the complete kiln/slumping package which included bottle slumping molds and accessories so you can start melting bottles right away.  You'll have to empty your own bottles :-)

Other kilns to consider

Some people have asked for suggestions for kilns that could fire more bottles at a time for faster production.  Of course the total number of bottles will vary somewhat depending on which mold you use (which size wine bottles), but here are some we worked out for standard size wine bottle molds.

Trio = 2 at a time
Paragon GL24ADTSD = 15 at a time
Olympic GF314E = 12 at a time
Olympic 1823FL = 5 or 6 at a time

In some cases you may need custom length posts to optimize the number of layers you can fit.
