Because the 2023HE has an oval chamber, you'll need custom-sized oval or rectangular shelves. We recommend ordering a furniture kit designed specifically for this model to maximize usable space and ensure proper fit within the 30″ × 20″ chamber.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat makes the oval shape advantageous over a round kiln?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe 30-inch width accommodates large platters, oval serving pieces, and wide sculptural forms that won't fit in standard 23-inch round kilns. The 20-inch depth keeps the footprint smaller than a 30-inch square kiln while still providing 7.2 cubic feet of capacity. This shape is particularly valuable for production potters making dinnerware with large serving pieces.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eCan this kiln fire stoneware and porcelain to full maturity?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYes, the 2023HE fires to cone 10 (2350°F), which covers all standard ceramic clay bodies including high-fire stoneware, porcelain, and cone 10 glazes.
