Kilns & Accessories - Blue Diamond Kilns

Blue Diamond Kilns are a “Best Buy” for potters working at Cone 6-8 or less, with some unique Standard Features and an incredible low price! They are available in a wide range of sizes equipped for “manual” operation or with Blue Diamond’s own “Tru-Mat-Tic” Controls.


C-125-25-3 Manual Kiln

STANDARD FEATURES on all Blue Diamond MANUAL Kilns:

  • Sectional Construction (for easy moveability)

  • Stainless Steel Jacket

  • Metal Kiln Stand

  • Tapered Spy Holes & Plugs

  • Dawson Kiln Sitter with Timer

  • 6 Ft. Cord & Plug under 50 amps

  • 18” & 23” Dia. Kilns are UL Listed

  • 2-1/2" Brick Lid, Walls & Floor on all 18” & 23” Dia. Kilns

  • 3” Brick Lid, Walls & Floor on 29” Dia. & Oval Kiln

  • 2 Yr. Unlimited Warranty

UNIQUE FEATURES:

  • PROTECTION RING - A 2” ring of solid brick (no element grooves) at the top of each kiln that adds extra stacking space for tall pieces. In addition, because the bricks are solid, this ring protects the upper grooved bricks from damage during kiln loading. If the bricks in the “Protection Ring” are damaged, they are easily replaced because no elements or wiring are involved.
  • 4-POSITION SWITCHES - Blue Diamond uses kiln switches with 4 Settings: “OFF”, “LOW”, “MED”, and “HI”. Each setting maintains a constant power input until the switch is manually moved to the next position. There is no “cycling” on & off (as with Infinite Switches). This type of switch lasts longer.
Blue Diamond’s TRU-MAT-TIC Kilns
include all the same STANDARD FEATURES as the MANUAL Models EXCEPT:
  • Each 4-Position Switch is replaced by a Blue Diamond TRU-MAT-TIC Switch with 3 Indicator Lights. To fire: Set the TRU-MAT-TIC Switch to “START” and the kiln fires: on “LOW” for 1 HOUR; on “MEDIUM” for 1 HOUR; on “HI” until the KILN SITTER SHUTS IT OFF. 

The Indicator Lights display the kiln setting as the firing progresses. The TMT Switch advances automatically. NOTE: It is possible to extend the “LOW”: setting for up to 3 HOURS by turning the TMT Switch to one of two marks preceding the “START” position. Each mark adds an additional Hour to the “LOW” setting time. The “MEDIUM” setting CANNOT be extended. The Kiln Sitter/Timer is required to SHUT THE KILN OFF. DO NOT LEAVE A TMT KILN UNATTENDED DURING FIRING. ALWAYS USE WITNESS CONES.

* Max. Cone rating is per Blue Diamond Kiln Co.
1 All Blue Diamond 208-Volt Kilns draw the same amperage as their 240-Volt Models, therefore the Kilowatt rating is slightly lower. As a result, the 208-V Models fire a little slower than the 240-V models.
2 Blue Diamond DOES NOT offer 3-Phase wiring. It is possible to use 2 of the 3 legs of a 3-Ph power supply to run the 1-Ph kilns. CONSULT YOUR ELECTRICIAN to determine if your 3-phase supply will accept this type of hook-up.
