Hot Shot 18A - The Annealing Cabinet
Add it to this order Upgrades & add-ons
A digital controller in its own wall-mounted box. It runs the kiln through a power cord, away from the kiln's heat.
Who needs it: Kilns with a manual or worn-out controller, or studios that want a different interface. Pick the voltage and amperage that match your kiln.
Skip it if this kiln already has a programmable controller built in. Most buyers do not need a second one; ask us about the factory touchscreen upgrade instead.

Authorized HotShot dealer · full factory warranty
Brand new and shipped direct from HotShot Oven & Kiln, so it carries HotShot'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.
Will it work in my space? Power check
Not included: kiln shelves (sold separately). Hot Shot builds the 18A for 240V, 30-amp service. Have an electrician confirm the outlet.
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).
