Jen-Ken · Kiln Furniture · Shelves Jen-Ken Full-Round Kiln Shelves Five diameters · 10" to 26" · Sold individually A full-round shelf fills the floor plan of a round kiln and carries a whole level of ware. Pick the diameter that matches your kiln — it is the shelf that sits on posts, not the kiln floor. Each shelf is sold on its own; posts and shelf primer are separate.

Jen-Ken publishes a thickness figure for the 21" and 26" shelves only. We have not guessed at the others — ask and we will get it from the factory in writing.
Key features
One kiln shelfThe diameter you select, in cordierite. Sold individually, not as a pair or a set.
Nothing elseNo posts, no shelf primer, no kiln wash. A shelf needs three or four posts under it to work.
Optional accessories
Kiln postsThree or four of the same height per shelf level. Jen-Ken square posts run ½" to 10".
Shelf primer (kiln wash)Stops glaze bonding to the shelf. Worth having before the first glaze firing, not after.
Half-round shelvesTwo halves per level let you stage tall and short ware side by side in the same kiln.
Furniture kitStarting from nothing? A Jen-Ken kit bundles shelves, posts in several heights and primer.
Common questions
Which diameter fits my kiln?Match the shelf to your kiln’s inside diameter, not its model number. A shelf wants a little clearance all round so hot air can move — it should not touch the brick. Send us your model number and we will tell you the size and how many you need per load.
How many shelves do I need?One per level you intend to stack, and most potters run two or three levels in a mid-size kiln. The kiln floor itself is your bottom surface, so a two-level load needs one shelf, not two.
Full round or two half rounds?A full round is simpler and stronger. Two halves are easier to lift, let you set two different post heights on one level, and mean a single cracked shelf costs you half as much to replace.
Why is the 26" listed for glass kilns?That is how Jen-Ken specifies it — it is their 1" shelf for the 26" glass kilns. It is a cordierite shelf like the rest; the 1" thickness is there to stay flat across a wide span under glass work.
Not sure which shelf your kiln takes? Send us your model number. We will tell you the diameter, how many shelves a full load needs, and the post heights to go with them.
