A hollow peephole plug that is cool to the touch during firings. For use with Skutt kilns or comparable kilns.

Type K thermocouple for your eletronic kiln. Works in Skutt, Shimpo/ConeArt (Single wall only), Olympic, & L&L kilns that require a Type K. This thermocouple is 6" long. If you have a double walled kiln, you need to buy the 8" Type K thermocouple.

Use to secure bulging elements or where brick is broken and elements need support.

This Pyrometer comes with a Type K thermocouple, thermocouple mounting block, 5 feet of thermocouple wire, and a pyrometer flange for mounting the thermocouple to the kiln.  The Pyrometer comes with a case that can be mounted to the wall. It also has a flip out back so that it can be set on a table or shelf.  Since it is “Dual Input”, you can purchase an additional thermocouple package and monitor two kilns. It even remembers the minimum and maximum temperatures recorded in a firing. It is rated to Cone 10 with a plus or minus 0.4% of reading accuracy.
