The Skutt KMT818 kiln has the power and industrial components to go straight to Cone 10 with a full load of tile or stoneware – no slow struggling to reach the final temperature. The standard Kiln Master (KM) or the Touchscreen (KMT) controller gives you the options of Cone Firing, or selecting your own 8-segment Ramp/Hold firing programs. The combination of heavy duty elements, connectors and relays, plus traditional Skutt stainless steel and firebrick construction results in a kiln that will last for years of constant use. Among the most powerful on the market today, the line was designed at the request of Skutt customers. Explore our wide selection of Skutt kilns for sale.

Features:

NEW KilnMaster Touchscreen with Built-in WiFi

The KMT Controller makes kiln programming as easy as using a smartphone. With touch navigation, clear icons, and guided steps, you’ll program confidently every time. Built-in WiFi keeps your controller up to date with free software upgrades, while the companion app lets you monitor kiln temperature and status right from your phone.

Its hinged design adjusts to a comfortable angle so you no longer have to bend or kneel, and when finished, it folds neatly out of the way. You’ll still enjoy all the classic KilnMaster functions you love, plus powerful new features like Guided Start for beginners, a preloaded Program Library, on-screen Help, live Graphing, firing Logs, and advanced Diagnostics. With KilnLink compatibility built right in, upgrading is easier and more affordable than ever.

The KMT Controller delivers everything you need—smarter features, effortless navigation, and peace of mind with every firing.

Current Sensing Technology

Skutt is one of the few brands that installs a Current Sensor in every KilnMaster Kiln. This allows you to read the Amperage of each section of the kiln as well as the Voltage and Voltage Under Load.

Now with the touch of a few buttons you can give those readings over the phone to your kiln repair technician so they can troubleshoot the problem and make sure they have the correct parts when they come out for the repair. This Saves Time and Money.

Prior to the use of these current sensors someone would have to come to your house and test the amperage and voltage inside the control box with live wires exposed. This system is Much Safer.

Sectional Design

Sectional Design is a good idea on so many levels.

Moving
Imagine trying to move a kiln into the basement or through a narrow door without being able to break it down into sections.

Repair
No more standing on your head in the kiln to replace those bottom elements or removing every brick in the kiln to get to the one you want to replace. Just remove the control box, unhook the buckles and place the section you want to work on on a table.

Replacement
We hope nothing really bad happens to your kiln … but … if it does, isn’t nice to know you can replace one bad section instead of the whole kiln?

Balanced Elements

A large amount of the heat you lose in your kiln passes to through the lid and slab of your kiln. To compensate for this, Skutt directs more heat to these areas when they design the elements. The fact that we have twice the element grooves in our kilns gives us more design flexibility than some of our competitors.

It also gives you more loading options since it is always recommended to have at least one element radiating between each layer of shelves. Oh and by the way, twice the grooves means you get twice the amount of element wire, which means each element doesn’t have to work as hard, which means longer element life! Whew!

The Thermocouple

• Exposed Thermocouple equals faster reaction time and higher accuracy.
• Inexpensive, plus we give you an extra one when you buy your kiln.
• Easy and quick to replace.
• Type S (Platinum) Upgrades Available.
