Product Details

Product Information

The HotStart Pro is easy to use, whether you are a beginner or a professional glass worker. The HotStart Pro is similar to the Firebox 14, with the same great controller, but with a smaller chamber size.

We do not recommend regularly firing over 820C in this kiln as it can shorten the life of the elements. If you wish to use high firing techniques such as pot melts on a regular basis, we would recommend a Kilncare kiln such as the Hobbyfuser.

The kiln comes with a 2-year warranty.

Special features:

  • The excellent Mini Touchscreen Controller
  • Ceramic Bung
  • Full accessory kit, including- stand, kiln shelf, 3 shelf props, kiln wash (200g) and firing paper.
  • Heptagonal chamber

Energy Credentials:

  • Basic Full Fuse KwH: 7.2*
  • Average Cost of Firing: £1.95*

*Information based on supplier testing with 6mm Bullseye Glass on a Basic Full Fuse, and will vary slightly between firings. Energy prices calculated using the UK energy price cap of 27.03p per KwH, correct as of the 1st April 2025.
