Constructed to last
Hotshot ovens are specifically designed with the end user in mind. Hot Shot ovens feature a full swing side opening door to allow safe and easy insertion and removal of material as well as a cool-to-touch one-handed handle made from high-quality stainless steel for easy opening and closing.
Hot Shot ovens are constructed with a high-quality powder-coated shell. The high-density fiber insulation in a Hot Shot oven is machined to high tolerance specifications so that each piece fits perfectly together to provide a proper seal, ensuring that it will maintain its temperature and work efficiently to prevent loss of heat. Each oven comes with a removable high-density floor. This is ideal to assist with project setup or if it needs to be replaced.
Hot Shot uses Kanthal A1 heating elements, a type K thermocouple and every oven comes standard with a solid state relay at no additional charge.

Advanced Features
Solid State Relay
Unlike many other ovens & kilns all Hot Shot ovens come standard with a solid state relay. Having a solid state relay eliminates the distractive clicking noise that a mechanical relay makes. A solid state relay is also more dependable and provides a longer life expectancy than that of a mechanical relay.
Programmable Alarm
Each unit comes standard with an integrated alarm that can be set to alert the user when a desired point or temperature is reached in the program.
Safety Door Switch
We also have integrated a safety door switch that will de-energize the heating
element when the door is open.
Cool-Touch Technology
Hot Shot Oven & Kilns are equipped with Patent Pending Cool-Touch Technology that provide a safe external temperature to allow for safer operation and protection of its surroundings.
BARTLETT GENESIS SPARK (Standard Upgrade)
The Genesis Spark is an advanced upgrade for Hot Shot Ovens, featuring industry-specific presets, 30 customizable programs, and Wi-Fi capabilities for seamless software updates, built-in diagnostics, and automatic PID adjustments. It integrates with the Bartlett Kiln Aid app, allowing you to monitor your kiln remotely and receive real-time alerts about its firing process.
TAP II (Controller Upgrade)
The TAP II offers unlimited program storage and can be easily programmed either directly on the screen or via the free mobile app. The TAP mobile app enables users to create and monitor programs in real time, set notifications, view detailed firing logs with minute-by-minute data, and receive push notifications about operation schedules. Additionally, the TAP controller provides access to maintenance schedules and allows you to adjust ongoing programs as needed.
