Reliable manual kilns

The Dawson KilnSitter has proven itself as a reliable way of controlling kilns for more than 50 years. The temperature and heating rate of KilnSitter (KS) Kilns are controlled by switches which you turn up in intervals which are determined by how fast or slow you wish to fire the kiln. The KilnSitter uses pyrometric cones to measure the heatwork inside the kiln. When the the pyrometric cone begins to melt the KilnSitter automatically shuts off the kiln.

A unique feature of the KilnSitter line of Skutt kilns is that most models can be expanded by inserting a 4.5" brick ring between the sections. This ring can be added or removed between firings as space requirements vary. An optional safety timer is also available to help prevent accidental overfires.
