About Tucker’s Cone Art Kilns.
We
build the finest electric kilns for pottery and glass on the market
today and we have been doing that for almost 25 years. In 1982 Frank
Tucker, of Tucker's Pottery Supplies Inc., started Cone Art Kilns. The
mission of Cone Art Kilns was to build high quality, electric kilns
that were designed to fire efficiently even up to high temperatures.
That mission continues today.
In 1998 Cone Art Kilns
was sold to the Shimpo America Corporation. In June of 2006 Frank
Tucker re-acquired Cone Art Kilns. Our team is very excited about being
back in the kiln business. We have already made several improvements to
the existing line and we have added some new models. We have also
greatly expanded our glass kiln line.
Tucker's Cone Art
Kilns have always been known as a very high quality line of kilns and
we are committed to not only upholding that reputation but to improving
on it.
Known throughout the world for their unique design and unparalleled
heat retaining properties, our double insulated Shimpo/Tucker's CONE ART Ceramics Kilns feature two heat
retaining walls (instead of a single wall of thicker brick). This
extremely energy-efficient design uses substantially less electricity
than single wall kilns by placing an extra thick layer of block
insulation around the exterior of premium quality fire bricks, enabling
the kiln to efficiently reach a true cone 10 as well as create the
optimum conditions for the most desirable cooling schedule.
