Authorized Evenheat dealer · full factory warranty

Brand new and shipped direct from Evenheat, so it carries Evenheat's full factory warranty. If something goes wrong, call us and we handle the claim with the factory for you.

Warranty terms are in the Warranty and support section below.

Returns: request within 15 days, unused

Because kilns are heavy and often built to order, returns are limited, so we'd rather help you pick the right one up front:

  • Ask within 15 days of purchase or 2 days after delivery, whichever comes first. We issue a return authorization (RA).
  • It must be new, unused (beyond the factory test fire) and in its original packaging.
  • A restocking fee of at least 25% applies, up to 50% on custom, 3-phase or made-to-order units. Return freight is on the buyer unless we made an error.
  • Damaged in transit? Note it on the delivery receipt, send us photos and we'll help with the freight claim.

Read the full return policy

Will it work in my space? Power check

Most 240V kilns need their own circuit and the matching outlet, installed by an electrician. Homes are usually 240V; schools and commercial buildings are often 208V, so pick the voltage that matches your panel.

Send us a photo of your breaker panel or outlet and we'll confirm before your kiln is built: 470-264-3563 (call or text).

Overview

Evenheat · Electric Kiln · GTS Personal Series Evenheat Glass Kiln - GTS 17 Model EH-GTS-17 · 240V · 17″ L × 17″ W × 13.5″ D · 1800°F Evenheat calls the GTS 17 the ultimate personal kiln, and its square 17×17 chamber with a full 16×16 shelf is sized right for individual glass artists doing fusing, slumping, draping, painting, and small kiln-casting projects. A fiber-and-firebrick hybrid build keeps the lid light and fast-heating while the firebrick walls and floor add heat storage, and Quiet Drive comes standard for tight, silent temperature control at this scale.

What’s included
The kiln, assembledIt arrives built and wired, with the elements already seated in the brick. Set it on its stand, plug it in and fire.
16-inch floor standEvenheat lists the floor stand as included and supplies a 16" one. Stand the kiln on the floor with it, or leave it off and work on a bench.
Digital controller, fittedOne controller, installed in the kiln’s own enclosure at the factory. You pick it when you order — Icon, Icon+, TAP II or RampMaster 3. Only one ships per kiln.
Thermocouple, installedAlready mounted in the chamber and wired to the control. Evenheat fits special limits thermocouples for close temperature reading.
Attached power cord and plugThe cord is fitted at the factory with a moulded plug. This build lands on a NEMA 6-20 outlet — have one in place before the kiln arrives.
Evenheat factory warrantyWorkmanship and materials are covered by Evenheat Kiln Inc. Ask us to confirm the term on this model in writing before you order — we would rather quote it than guess. Kiln furniture is not covered.
Kiln furniture sold separatelyNo Evenheat kiln ships with shelves, posts, brush or kiln wash. Evenheat sells the furniture kit as an accessory — ask us to add one to the same order and it ships with the kiln.
Vent system not includedNo downdraft or room vent is part of the kiln. If you are firing indoors and need to pull fumes out, tell us and we will spec one.
Key features
Fiber Lid + Firebrick Walls & FloorA hybrid build: a lightweight fiber lid heats fast and cuts weight, while firebrick walls and floor store and gradually release heat for smoother, more even annealing.
Swing View Adjustable Control EnclosureThe control panel swings to your preferred angle for easy reading and operation, then tucks safely out of the way when not in use.
Quiet Drive Solid State Relay — StandardEvenheat's patented zero-moving-part relay comes standard, firing 60 times per second for the ultra-tight, silent temperature control glass work demands.
Power Interrupt SwitchElements shut off automatically the moment the lid is raised, adding a critical layer of safety during loading and unloading.
Relay Access PortBuilt-in access port lets a technician service or replace the relay without removing the full control panel, cutting downtime and service cost.
Two-Position Lid VentAdjustable venting accelerates cooling and helps release adhesive fumes and moisture during the early stages of a firing.

Common questions
What circuit does the GTS 17 need?It draws 18 amps at 240V on a NEMA 6-20 plug and requires a dedicated, fully rated 20-amp breaker. A licensed electrician should confirm your outlet and circuit before you fire.
How is the GTS 17 different from the GTS 18?The 17 has a square 17×17 chamber (2.26 cu ft) built with a fiber-and-firebrick hybrid, while the 18 has a round 17.5-inch diameter chamber (2.0 cu ft) built entirely of firebrick. Choose the square 17 if you work with rectangular molds and panels; choose the round 18 if you prefer an all-brick build.
Is this kiln big enough for kiln-casting?Yes, in a personal-size capacity. The 16×16 usable shelf and 13.5-inch depth handle small to medium kiln-casting molds along with standard fusing and slumping work.
Does Quiet Drive really come standard on a kiln this size?Yes — Evenheat includes the Quiet Drive solid-state relay standard across the GTS Personal line, so you get the same ultra-precise, silent temperature control as their larger studio kilns.
Does buying from Peach State Pottery affect my warranty?No. We're an authorized Evenheat dealer, so your two-year warranty is fully valid and you have direct access to Evenheat's support team. Buying from an unauthorized seller can void your warranty entirely.
