During operation, the VentMaster system keeps the kiln under a slight negative pressure. This pulls the fumes out of the kiln and pulls in a small amount of fresh air.
Firing times are essentially the same.
The fumes are exhausted directly into a duct system and removed from the kiln room. Improved airflow in the kiln results in more uniform temperatures, reducing hot and cold spots. A must for educational settings where the kiln room is in proximity to or shared by students.
Purchase a VentMaster:
- If you plan to fire toxic glaze materials within an enclosed room, and/or plan to work in that room while firing
- If your kiln room has inadequate ventilation to cool the room - the vent system will siphon off kiln heat and keep the room's temp more comfortable
- If you are installing the kiln in any educational setting indoors (classroom, public studio) with no window near the kiln to open if needed.
- Note: We know many potters who work in a garage or open-bay studio who do not choose to purchase a vent system. Mondaes is not required commercially to utilize a vent system in our public classroom, and our kiln does not overheat the room. Please use common sense and consideration for your specific policies, educational settings, and personal safety.
- Purchase the VentMaster Extension kit in addition to the VentMaster in order to run two kilns on a singular VentMaster System.
The VentMaster Expansion Kit allows two electric kilns to run off the same vent, saving costs over purchasing another VentMaster system for duplicate kilns.
