The Skutt KM 1018
The Skutt KM-1018-3 is a great kiln for smaller studios or individuals who will never need to fire objects over 18″ high. This kiln gives you nearly five cubic feet of capacity in a low, wide firing chamber, which is what makes it so easy to load — the KM-1018-3 fits about 26 bowls that are 6 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. Whether the task is delicate porcelain or heavy stoneware, the Cone 10 capable KM-1018-3 can do it all.
The KM-1018-3 comes standard equipped with Skutt’s easy-to-use 12-key controller. In cone-fire mode, simply enter your target cone and then push a button to program a slow, medium, or fast firing program. Even the seasoned potter will find themselves using these time-saving buttons, but if you do intend to write your own programs, the Skutt controller makes that easy, too. This computer stores up to twelve programs with up to 32 steps each. Whether you want to slow-cool your cone 6 glazes, promote crystal development, or fuse glass, this controller can handle it.
The KM-1018-3 is sectionally-constructed, which means you can easily disassemble the kiln’s chamber when you are moving or repairing your kiln. Your kiln will have the versatility to fit through just about any doorway. The KM-1018-3 comes standard with 3” side brick . This kiln also comes standard with a Skutt Lid Lifter; kiln stand with feet; instructional video; operating manual; an extra type-K thermocouple; warranty card; and peep hole plugs.
Maintaining your Skutt kiln has never been easier, because Skutt’s customer support is some of the best in the business. Every Skutt KM kiln is equipped with a sensor that allows remote technicians to troubleshoot your kiln right over the phone — this sensor reads your voltage and amperage on your kiln’s controller, and can also check the board temperature, LED readout and a host of other useful troubleshooting data. Skutt kilns also feature balanced elements — because the top and bottom of a kiln tend to lose heat faster than the center, Skutt has solved that problem by placing more powerful elements in those positions.
The Skutt KM-1018-3 is a great kiln for anyone in the market for a smaller kiln. It is very versatile and easy to use, and the customer support from Skutt is top-notch. I would highly recommend this kiln to anyone in the market for a smaller kiln.
