First Firing with the L&L Plug-N-Fire 120v cone 10 kiln!

First time firing the L&L Plug-N-Fire kiln. L&L sent me the second kiln they ever made of this model and I’m so excited to share it with you! The first one they made went to the winner of our kiln giveaway during ClayShareCon2024! Thanks L&L for for all you do and for being a sponsor of ClayShare!

This little kiln plugs into a regular 120 volt, 12.5 amp service and can fire to cone 10! This is a test kiln and the interior is 8”x8”x9” which is .3 cubic foot of space. Because of its size you do not need or want a kiln vent which makes this kiln very portable.

I fired the kiln to cone 5 (2167°f) on medium speed with a 1:30 min preheat and a 5 min hold. The firing took 10 hours to get to top temp and reached 2173°f but you can tell from the cone pack that it was a bit hotter than cone 5 and closer to cone 6.

The mug I fired on the test fire was made using Tuckers smooth stone clay and glazes with my Deep Green Sea celadon, Amaco Deep Sea Celadon, Amaco Chun Plum and Seaweed Potters Choice glazes.

I think this is a great test kiln. I love how portable it is so you can take it with you if you travel or need a kiln for workshops.
If you are looking for a small kiln, a test kiln or make a lot of jewelry then this is the prefect kiln for you.

I will be doing more texts and firing to cone 10 with this kiln over the coming weeks/months so stay tuned for my updates and long term review.
