This design feature allows the user to load long blades very close to the back of the heating chamber while providing excellent temperature distribution. The entire chamber depth is free to use.

Chamber doors that swing down and rest directly below the chamber throw off massive amounts of heat right where you don't want it. Evenheat designs its doors to open to the side, a full 180° if you want it. This keeps the heat away from you and offers a more cool and comfortable use. It's an excellent design choice that makes all the difference.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: normal; font-family: Montserrat, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);\"\u003eDoor Guard: tB's feature a door guard to provide protection against firebrick damage as well as to reduce the temperature seen at the door and door handle.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: normal; font-family: Montserrat, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);\"\u003eCool-Touch Handle The handle on our swing out door is conveniently located at the front of the door, not hidden along the side.

This construction technique allows individual firebrick to move independently of each other during the heating and cooling cycles. Physical pressures from heating and cooling do not make their way through the structure, which eliminates breakage. Evenheat designs for the long- haul and our Compression Construction gets us there.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-weight: 400; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: normal; font-family: Montserrat, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);\"\u003eQuiet Drive Solid State Relay Solid state relays are special switches used to turn the heating elements on and off.
