Double-Skin Ventilated Frame
Typically, gas kilns get extremely hot on the exterior surfaces. With the increasing risk of litigation, insurance companies are becoming more stringent regarding safety regulations. To reduce the risk of burns, Bailey Corporation developed the Double-Skin Ventilated Frame. With the Double-Skin, an air space is provided between the hot refractory bricks and the exterior sheet metal. Air can circulate through this air space, providing an exterior skin temperature (over the vast majority of the kiln) that can be touched without causing harm.
This same Double-Skin technique also provides the most efficient means of removing residual fumes (such as carbon) that can leach through the kiln wall during the reduction firing process. The fumes are contained as they travel in this shielded area to the top of the kiln. With the addition of the (optional) Residual Fume Hood, fumes are collected and removed immediately.
Safety Systems
Our standard 100% flame safety system provided on models with 12 to 40 cu ft of stacking space is a “Base” style safety valve. This system uses a thermocouple and pilot burner to prove flame presence prior to main burner combustion. All safety valves used are AGA approved.

Comparing Studio Deluxe with Production Kilns
Studio Deluxe front loading kilns range in sizes from 8 to 31 cubic feet of stacking space. The Production front loading kilns range from 28 to 40 cubic feet of stacking space. Both Deluxe and Production kilns utilize the same Double Skin Ventilated Frame construction with stainless chimneys and vary only in their respective insulation profiles.
The Deluxe models have 4½” of insulating firebrick in the walls, floor and arch. This insulating profile is ideal for the small to medium range of kiln because it offers an economical firing, and a cool cycle that allows a reasonable turn around time. There would be no benefit to add insulation to this range for typical stoneware firings.
The Production models have 6” of insulating firebrick in the walls and 6¾” in the arch. This insulating profile is ideal for medium to large kilns. The increase in insulation thickness is more in ratio to the thermal mass that is being fired. This is a more practical kiln for firing sculpture where the operator intends to fire longer schedules than the typical stoneware firings.
