3" Brick. 10.2 cubic feet for bisque, low-fire and mid-fire ceramics
L&L model e28T-3 Easy-Fire Kiln is a large studio kiln. It is recommended as a bisque kiln or for low-fire ceramics. This kiln is at home in schools and contemporary studios.
If you want this size and need to do cone 6 or higher then consider the L&L EQuad Pro 2827 : here.
The L&L Easy Fire Kilns feature easy firing with the 12 Key DynaTrol digital controller. Select the upgrade to the state of the art, wiFi enabled Genesis Touch Screen Controller.
The controller is mounted in an easy-open cool-firing control panel that is angled for easy viewing.
L&L Kilns all come with hard ceramic element holders, thermocouple protection tubes, strong
solid-top stand, easy-lift spring hinge, and solid peephole plugs.
NEMA 6-50 single
phase or 15-50 three phase 6 foot power cord included. C-MET-us listed
in the USA & Canada.
Cone 10 for all three phase models- see below
for single phase.
Note about e28T-3 Easy-Fire Kiln on 1 phase power
The e28T-3 kiln is only rated for
Cone 8 when the power supply is 240 volts, 1 phase. It is only rated for Cone 5 when the power supply is 208 volts, 1 phase.
A cone rating should be several cones higher than the cone you plan
to fire to. Elements in a kiln that is rated for cone 8 will not last
very long when firing to cone 5 or 6 especially with heavy loads.
That said- if you answer yes to any of these following questions, you
probably want to go with a more powerful L&L, like the
JD2927-3 (if
you need UL listing). Both of these kilns, in the single phase
versions, have more power (watts) than the e28T-3 and will consistently
deliver the power you need to reach Cone 6. On the other hand, both the
240 and 208 volt
three phase versions of the e28T-3 deliver plenty of power (watts), so this note does not apply to three phase e28T-3 models.
- Do you fire to Cone 5 or 6 at least twice a month?
- Would you fire with more than 3 layers of kiln shelves in a kiln this size?
- Can you get a larger circuit breaker? (80 amp breaker for 240 volts, 1 phase OR 90 amp breaker for 208 volts, 1 phase)
NOTE: If the largest circuit breaker you can have is a 60 amp breaker
on 240 volts, 1 phase power, you should either get a smaller L&L-
like the
e23T-3 , or count on changing the elements often- about every 30 or so firings. Another help is to get the Quad element option.
With the Quad element option the elements will last longer but you
won't get any more power in the kiln (so you could still get slow
firings).
