The Hot Shot HS-18G Glass Kiln is a versatile, mid-size glass kiln designed for both home studios and professional workspaces.

The kiln features a front-opening clamshell design, providing full access to the kiln floor for easy loading and unloading. This design also allows artists to interact with projects mid-firing for techniques such as glass raking.
