What is the biggest kiln on 120v household current?

Looking for a list that tells you the largest kilns that fit 120V household current?

Look no further!

We've created a great list with all the kilns we carry of the largest 120V units that work on household current,  BUT FIRST... Let's make sure your plug matches your receptacle.

 

Most homes in the U.S. are wired with a combination of 15-amp and 20-amp, 120-volt circuits. Because 15-amp receptacles (5-15R) can be used with 20-amp circuits, most of the receptacles you see in homes are the standard 15-amp variety, with two slots and a U-shaped grounding hole. Twenty-amp receptacles (5-20R) have a horizontal slot branching off one of the vertical slots. Plugs designated as 20 amp will not fit into 15-amp outlets. 

 

The final important piece of information when looking at 120v kilns is amperage. You will need to be certain you have a breaker that meets the amperage requirements for your kiln as most of the 5-20R kilns require a dedicated circuit. Without a 20 amp breaker, your kiln will not reach the desired temperatures to fuse glass. Older homes, apartments, and mobile homes will have 15 amp breakers. Please check your breaker box carefully prior to ordering. Kiln Frog, LLC cannot be held responsible for kilns ordered that cannot operate at full temperatures due to electrical issues on site.

 

 If you have questions, we always recommend talking to a licensed electrician.

 

These kilns are the best for each category of glass, ceramic, or knife making in the 120V group. We think these also are the best for beginning artists!
