The HF 1818 is at home in the personal porcelain/china and clay studios. For the porcelain artist its large size allows for larger and more pieces and works particularly well in teaching situations. The personal ceramic artist finds they can fire as they please without feeling the need to "fill the kiln". It's a very liberating size. Available with our TAP Touchscreen, Genesis Touchscreen or Rampmaster controls. Order yours with our Quiet Drive Solid State output option for tight temperature control and longer element life. The HF 1818 is designed to fire ceramic materials up to 2350°F (1288°C), cone 10 on a daily basis

Top Load
The HF 1818 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 17.5" diameter x 18 deep. The HF 1818 is, and always has been the most popular size for the individual cone 10 ceramic artist. Width and depth are perfect, shelves and ware are easy to load and the firing results are beautiful.
Wonderful Lid Handle
We love handles. Handles have to be properly sized and shaped for the job. Our lid handles make this point by offering an 8" handle that's easy to grasp and operate. This wide, corner mounted handle allows for confident and easy lifting, even with a gloved hand. It's unlike any other and it's a joy to use.
Multi-Zone Control
The HF 1818 is designed with multi-zone control. Multi-Zone control means the kiln uses more than one thermocouple (temperature sensor) to control the heat in the firing chamber.
The kiln chamber is divided into heat zones, each with its own thermocouple. Each zone temperature is controlled very precisely. The end result is a very even temperature distribution from top to bottom.
2 Position Lid Vent
The HF 1818 is equipped with a 2 position lid vent. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.
Swing View Equipped
The HF 1818 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure. The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP I and Icon+ as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
3" Firebrick with No Loss of Chamber Volume
Historically kiln designs were based on 2-1/2" firebrick. As 3" firebrick began to show favor in high temperature designs many kiln manufacturers simply
reduced the firing chamber size to accommodate the thicker firebrick while leaving the outside dimensions the same.
At Evenheat we took a different direction. Instead of making the chamber smaller we kept it the same while increasing the outside dimensions. In this way there is no loss in chamber volume and common, standard kiln
furniture would continue to fit. Nice.
Swing-Away Peephole Covers
Our kiln designs feature swing-away peephole covers as opposed to plugs. Plugs get lost and they get broken. Our attached peephole covers remain on the kiln and simply swing open and closed. You won't lose them and they certainly won't break.
Lid Prop
The HF 1818 is provided with a lid prop bar that positively keeps the lid in the open position. Simple operation is made even easier with our well designed lid handle.
Relay Access Port
The HF 1818 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement. Simply
remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relays. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a
screwdriver!
It's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.
Full Stainless Steel Jackets
Multi-section, multi-jacketed kilns were conceived to lower production costs for the kiln manufacturer and to make life easier for the person installing the kiln. These are worthy goals but they come at the cost of kiln quality. It's a trade off we're not willing to make.
We build our kilns with full stainless jackets from top to bottom. Full stainless jackets mean absolutely solid, life extending construction. There are no leaks, no shifting and no weakness. Insist on Full Stainless Jackets for true build quality.
Options:
Multiple Control Options
The HF 1818 is available in a variety of Multi-Zone controls including the TAP I, Icon+ and Rampmaster II. Multi-Zone controls use multiple thermocouples (temperature sensors) to provide excellent temperature distribution throughout the firing chamber.
At Evenheat we take the best control platforms on the market and make them even better by adding Special Limits thermocouples for precise temperature sensing and non-metallic faceplates for stellar Wi-Fi reception for on-line Apps. Visit our Controls tab to learn more about our controls and why they represent the very best that you can get.
Quiet Drive Solid State Relay Option
The HF 1818 is available with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay option. Our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System offers tight temperature control, high reliability and increased heating element life. We fully expect our solid state relay to last the life of the unit. You want
this!
Why Upgrade from Mechanical Relays to Solid-State Relays?
Mechanical Relays, which come standard on most kilns have internal moving parts which over time wear out and need to be replaced. Kiln manufacturers recommend you replace your mechanical relays approximately every 2 years. Solid-state relays have no moving parts and last far longer than standard mechanical relays and offer far better temperature control during hold times. Since solid-state relays also have no moving parts to wear out, they NEVER need to be replaced. You will notice that solid-state relays are silent. The only sound you will hear is just the reassuring hum of the heating elements. So, this factory upgrade saves you potential down time from having to wait for new relays to arrive, potential over-fires from relays sticking in the closed position, potential aggravation from having to learn how to remove and replace the mechanical relays yourself. We think this upgrade is well worth the cost and will save you time and aggravation over the life of your kiln.
