Just watch the magic through the 2"x4" viewing window. All four corners of the firing chamber are visible giving you full view of your glass as it gets worked by the heat.

Features, Specifications and Other Fun Stuff

Control Options

The Hot Box is equipped with an infinite switch temperature control and a pyrometer. The infinite switch works much the same as a stove switch in that it allows the user to set the heat from a low position to a high position and everywhere in between. Hence the name "Infinite". This switch offers much more control than standard "Low-Medium-High" switch which only offers three heat settings.

A Pyrometer is like a high temperature version of the thermometer. Connected to the pyrometer is a thermocouple. This thermocouple is the temperature sensor. It is inserted into the firing chamber. The thermocouple produces a very low voltage which changes depending upon the temperature seen at the tip of the thermocouple. This voltage is applied to the pyrometer which reacts by moving or deflecting the needle or changing the digital display.

Firing Chamber Dimensions and Options:

6" long x 6" wide x 4.5" deep

Voltage and Phase Considerations:

The Hot Box is designed to work from a typical 120V household receptacle. 12A, 1440W.

Suitability:

All glass related firing up to 1800°F (982°C), such as painting, fusing, slumping, Pate de Verre, etc.. The Hot Box is very useful for testing compatibility and seminar use. Every glass artist should have at least one of these in their studio.

It should also be noted at this point, that the Hot Box is designed to fire a single layer or shelf. It's just too darn small to try more than one! Attempting to fire glass below the top shelf is likely to lead to frustration and disappointment. So.....one shelf only.
