Fusing joins pieces of glass together at temperatures around 1400–1500°F to create flat designs, while slumping heats fused glass to around 1200–1300°F to drape it into molds for bowls or plates. The 1700°F maximum temperature provides headroom for full fusing, and the programmable controller allows you to set precise ramp rates and hold times for both techniques. Most glass artists use this kiln for small-scale jewelry, decorative tiles, and tableware projects.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eDoes this kiln require special electrical wiring?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eNo. The HS-16G runs on standard 120-volt household current and plugs into a regular 3-prong outlet. It draws 15 amps at full power, so it should be on a dedicated 20-amp circuit to avoid tripping breakers—most modern kitchens and workshops already have these. You won't need an electrician unless your outlet is shared with other high-draw appliances. Check your breaker panel to confirm you have a dedicated circuit available.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat size glass projects fit in the HS-16G?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe 16″ × 16″ shelf accommodates up to a 15″ × 15″ glass piece with adequate clearance from the walls. The 6″ height limits you to relatively flat work—full fusing, jewelry components, small bowls, tiles, and sun catchers. If you're slumping into deep molds, measure your mold height plus the thickness of your fused blank to ensure it fits. For larger plates or deeper vessels, you'll need a kiln with a taller chamber.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow do I program firing schedules on the controller?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe digital controller stores up to 8 segments per program, allowing you to set ramp rates (degrees per hour), target temperatures, and hold times for each stage of the firing. Most glass fusing schedules use 3–5 segments: a slow ramp to fusing temperature, a hold for glass flow, a controlled cool to annealing temperature, an anneal hold, and a final cool. The manual includes common firing schedules for different glass types (COE 90, COE 96), and you can save custom programs for repeated use.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs this kiln covered by a warranty, and do I need to buy from an authorized dealer?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes. Hot Shot provides a one-year limited warranty on the HS-16G, but it's only valid when purchased through an authorized dealer like Peach State Pottery. You must register your kiln within 30 days of delivery to activate warranty coverage. Buying from an unauthorized seller voids the warranty and may mean you receive a used, refurbished, or improperly stored unit. We're an authorized dealer and handle warranty claims directly with Hot Shot.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-cta\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-title\"\u003eNot sure if the HS-16G is the right kiln for your studio?\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-sub\"\u003eOur team can help you compare chamber sizes, firing schedules, and electrical requirements for your specific glass projects.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peachstatepottery.com\/pages\/contact-us\" class=\"d-cta-link\"\u003eTalk to an expert →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HotShot Oven \u0026 Kiln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48462854455451,"sku":"HS-16G","price":3551.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/7160\/9243\/files\/22-AMROT-1569_Oven-105_e1_800x_ed2b804c-e851-4cf0-8073-11395ddb42eb.webp?v=1777424767","url":"https:\/\/peachstatepottery.com\/products\/hot-shot-clam-shell-glass-kiln-hs-16g","provider":"Peach State Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
