Kiln Features

Welded Stand

Our competition claims their “full plate” steel stand reflects energy back into the kiln, saving you money on firing costs and preventing kiln bottoms from cracking. If this is true, every Skutt kiln sold with an Envirovent has been providing these benefits for over 15 years.

Cracking in Bottoms and Lids are caused by the extreme difference in temperature between the side exposed to the heat of the kiln chamber and the side facing out. The side facing the chamber expands at a faster rate than the side facing out and causes the face of the side in the chamber to develop shallow hairline cracks. These cracks do not affect the structural integrity of the slab.
