And, it's so easy to do! Our kiln controller kits - a standalone, electronic kiln controller...at this point we let the kiln temperature controller do the work. In a Wall Mount or Remote Controller Box - make the upgrade simple: the user just plugs the kiln into the receptacle on the side of the wall mount, plugs the box into the wall, and finally places the thermocouple into the kiln.

For the kiln sitter kilns, switches must be set to high, place a cone on the KS several cones higher than what the firing is going to, make sure to turn the timer switch to a very high setting, at this point, we let the kiln temperature controller do the work - perfect for pottery, glass, and metal firings. And, just like magic, you have a digital kiln!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions for Manual Kiln Controller Upgrade
    Can I convert a manual kiln to digital?

    Yes. A standalone digital kiln controller lets you convert a manual kiln to automatic, programmed firing without rewiring the elements. The controller plugs in line with your kiln and switches power on and off to follow your ramp-and-hold schedule.

    What is included in a digital kiln controller kit?

    A digital kiln controller kit typically includes the programmable controller, a thermocouple to read kiln temperature, and the wiring or wall-mount housing to connect it to your manual kiln. Check each kit's amperage and voltage rating against your kiln's specs.

    How does a standalone kiln controller work?

    A standalone kiln controller sits between your wall outlet and the kiln, reading temperature through a thermocouple and cycling power to hold your programmed schedule. It works with manual electric kilns and gives you automated ramp, soak, and cool steps.

    Will a wall mount kiln controller fit my kiln?

    A wall mount kiln controller works with most single-phase electric kilns as long as the controller's voltage and amperage rating match or exceed your kiln's draw. Confirm your kiln's plug type and power requirements before ordering so the controller is correctly sized.

    What is the best digital controller for a manual kiln?

    The best digital kiln controller is one rated for your kiln's voltage and amperage that offers the programming you need, such as multi-segment ramp-and-hold for glass or ceramics. We carry programmable kiln controllers for both small and full-size kilns.
