Utilizing years of history and a plethora of design improvements, this truly mobile raku kiln is designed for efficient, easy, one person operation. No need to worry about lifting a heavy chamber over red-hot kiln shelves or damaging product as a result. Simply split the kiln in two, allowing quick access to the kiln shelves. The fully insulated fiber walls and a soft brick floor allows the kiln to heat and cool rapidly, eliminating the need to preheat. Roll the kiln to a safe location, complete a firing cycle within 30-45 minutes and roll it back into storage.

He wanted a firing chamber large enough to accommodate large pieces; it had to provide easy access to the fired pieces and it had to be portable. After taking his idea and requirements to a friend and fabricator, Mike Blackwell, the “Clam Shell” was born. As others showed interest in the Clam Shell design, the need to fabricate and manage the sell of the units become apparent. In turn, John would approach Joe at the Clay Art Center in Tacoma, WA to collaborate on the next generation clam shell raku kiln. Soon, Moses of Clay Art Center would “carry-the-torch” with the design and fabrication of the kiln. As the demand for the Clam Shell continued to grow, there was a need to find a manufacturer capable of supplying the kilns at a production level. Clay Art Center would approach Peter Pugger in hopes of keeping the “torch lit” in the ongoing expansion and production of the kiln. Peter Pugger is both honored and proud to carry on a long tradition of a quality raku kiln and hopes to see others benefit from the Clam Shell design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from high temperature fiber in a laser cut and formed metal frame. \u003cspan style=\"color: #e22605;\" color=\"#E22605\"\u003eThe sides fold down to offer unparalleled access to the hot ware.\u003c\/span\u003e One person can easily fire this kiln, load and unload it without assistance. Insulating firebrick in a welded steel frame form the base of the kiln. Because of the fiber walls and soft brick base, the kiln heats and cools rapidly (eliminates the need to preheat). \u003cspan style=\"color: #e22605;\" color=\"#E22605\"\u003eAn entire heating cycle takes approximately 30-45 minutes using a propane tank and burner.\u003c\/span\u003e The folding sides are made of sheet metal and angle iron. The sides hinge from the base and are lined with 1”inch thick ceramic fiber. Two vent holes on top of the kiln can be covered to allow control of the firing. Large “peep” holes on two sides give easy visibility into the kiln to inspect the cones and for thermocouple placement. The kiln is fired with a 75,000 BTU venturi burner in a fixed cradle. Modular construction allows easy storage or transportation. With the added casters the kiln can be moved in and out storage. The optional thermocouple safety shut-off system and pilot light provide a safe and reliable gas supply system. \u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eComplete System Includes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Steel frame base w\/2,300 degree soft brick -Fiber Lined Clam Shell Frame -75,000 BTU Burner MR-750 -One 16” x 16” x 5\/8” Shelf -High Pressure Regulator -Wheels for Mobility -Pressure Gauge -Three 4” posts -12’ft.
