The BlueBird Jr safely anneals even large, exotic glass beads to prevent breakage during cooling. This innovative bead kiln is made in America to exacting standards. Weighing only 33 pounds (15 kilograms) out of the box, the BlueBird Jr is light enough to take with you on vacation or to seminars. It is ideal for traveling teachers with limited space. The kiln includes a handle on top for convenient carrying. Now you can be independent. Imagine taking the BlueBird Jr with you on exciting adventures. The BlueBird Jr features high-tech, efficient ceramic fiber insulation in the roof, walls and floor. The element is embedded in the roof between layers of ceramic fiber board to reduce dust. This is a true high performance kiln you will enjoy using often. Insert bead mandrels into the kiln. The mandrel ends rest outside the kiln on 3”-deep slotted stainless steel mandrel holders, cradled at two points. Adjust the height of the mandrel holders by loosening screws underneath. Mounted on top of the BlueBird Jr with the carrying handle is a stainless steel glass rod warmer. Pre-heating glass rods saves production time.
