In addition to the floor heating coil, Cone Art kilns feature multiple thermocouples placed approximately every 9 inches throughout the kiln. These thermocouples are part of the kiln’s Multi-Zone Control system, which continuously measures temperature at different points inside the kiln. This advanced system allows the temperature controller to make precise adjustments to ensure even heat distribution across the entire firing chamber. By monitoring different zones of the kiln separately, the Three-Zone Control system minimizes temperature fluctuations and helps the kiln maintain consistent heat from top to bottom. This results in a more reliable and uniform firing process, improving the quality of your pottery and ensuring consistent outcomes, whether you’re firing at lower temperatures or pushing the kiln to its maximum Cone 10 capacity.
