What are Hot Shot Ovens Used For?

Hot Shot Ovens are truly versatile and can serve many needs! Hot Shot ovens can be used for Heat Treating, Metallurgy, Glass Making, Knife Making, Gun Making and many other industrial applications. Hot Shot ovens are used by hobbyists, laboratories and manufactures alike. We continue to develop ovens & kilns for all industries in various shapes and sizes! 

Patent Pending Cool to Touch with Fan Cooling Technology

Hot Shot Oven & Kilns are equipped with Patent Pending Cool-Touch Technology that provide a safe external temperature to allow for safer operation and protection of its surroundings. Each oven comes with a removable high density kiln floor. This is ideal to assist with project setup or if it needs to be replaced. It features a dual layer air plenum for external heat management and precise temperature control.

Controller Options: 

When picking out your Hot Shot Oven, you will have the ability to choose the right controller for you. We offer several different options to fit your needs. Learn more about our controllers HERE.

What power do I need?

Hot Shot Ovens are available in various configurations to meet different needs, each with specific power requirements. For example, the HS-24G Glass Kiln operates on a 240V, 30-amp service and requires a 6-30P plug type. It’s important to have the correct outlet and receptacle installed for safe and efficient use. Other models may require different voltages and amperages, such as 120V at 15 amps (standard at home outlet) or 220/240V with L6-20R plugs. Always refer to the specific specifications for your oven to ensure compatibility with your electrical system.

Please ensure you plug your oven/kiln on its own dedicated circuit or confirm available power before running.

Therefore when choosing a kiln/oven we highly recommend you check your power requirements first. We recommend making sure you have the proper outlet and if not to check with a professional about adding an outlet into your work area. DO NOT use extension cords in any situation!

Constructed to last

Hot shot ovens are specifically designed with the end user in mind. Hot Shot ovens feature a full swing side opening door to allow safe and easy insertion and removal of material as well as a cool-to-touch one-handed handle made from high quality stainless steel for easy opening and closing. 

Hot Shot ovens are constructed with a stainless steel core and a high quality powder coated shell. The high density fiber insulation in a Hot Shot oven is machined to high tolerance specifications so that each piece fits perfectly together to provide a proper seal, ensuring that it will maintain its temperature and work efficiently to prevent loss of heat. Most ovens come with a removable high density floor, see oven specs for details. This is ideal to assist with project setup or if it needs to be replaced.

Hot shot uses Kanthal A1 heating elements, a type K thermocouple and every oven comes standard with a solid state relay at no additional charge. 

Where can I put my oven/kiln?

With our Cool to Touch Fan Cooling Technology we only require about 3” of space between the oven/kiln and the wall. Do not block any vents and make sure the fan unit has at least 3” of space between it and the wall or other objects. 

Put in a well ventilated area and do not attempt to duct the exhaust of the fan unless the exhaust has a power vent compatible with the cfm of the fan. 

Even though the outside enclosure stays cool to the touch, please make sure any flammable or combustible materials are away from the surroundings of the kiln.
