Kiln Sitters
Kiln Sitters are control boxes on electric pottery kilns that utilize pyrometric cones to dictate a kiln’s firing. Prongs within the kiln sitter extend to support a pyrometric cone or rod. Once the kiln reaches a specific temperature, the cone will start to bend causing a lever to drop, switching the kiln off. Kiln sitters have become less common with the advent of digital controllers, however, they are still found on many manual kilns.
Important components of kiln sitters include the tube assembly, cone supports and a sensing rod. Kiln sitters are also available with and without a timer. At The Ceramic Shop we stock most kiln sitter parts, If you are unsure of what you need, please feel free to contact us.
