KilncareIkon V61 GXR Top Load Kiln

Step up to 61 litres without stepping up to a dedicated electrical supply. The V61 GXR plugs into any standard 13A socket, reaches 1300°C with its double-insulated chamber, and comes with a furniture set and free UK delivery included.

  • 61-litre chamber: One-third more capacity than the V46 — meaningful for anyone producing regularly or firing larger pieces.
  • Dual-layer insulation: Two layers of micropore insulation plus a fibre blanket give the GXR superior heat retention and faster, more efficient firings.
  • 13A household plug: No rewiring, no electrician. Straight into a standard socket and ready to fire.
  • 1300°C maximum: Full range of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain firings.
  • KCR32C controller included: Pre-set programmes plus custom ramp-and-hold control. WiFi upgrade available.

More Capacity, Same Convenience

The V61 GXR is for potters who've already decided they need more space inside the kiln — whether that's because the V46 fills up too quickly, they're working on larger sculptural pieces, or they want the headroom to fire bigger batches without running multiple cycles.

Where the GXR distinguishes itself from the standard V61E is the insulation. Two layers of micropore board combined with a fibre blanket give the GXR chamber significantly better heat retention — meaning it reaches temperature more efficiently, holds it more consistently, and uses less electricity per firing cycle. Over time, that makes a real difference to running costs.

Like the rest of the Ikon range, the V61 GXR runs from a standard 13A household socket. No rewiring, no specialist installation, no barriers between you and your first firing. The KCR32C controller handles everything from basic pre-set programmes to complex custom ramp-and-hold sequences, and the optional WiFi upgrade lets you monitor firings remotely via Kilncare's GATEway platform.

The V61 GXR Is Right For You If

  • You're outgrowing the V46 or a similarly sized kiln
  • You work on larger pieces that need more chamber height or diameter
  • You want to fire bigger batches less frequently
  • You want the best insulation available in the Ikon range for running efficiency
  • You need a proper home kiln without a dedicated electrical circuit

What the GXR Brings to the Table

Dual-Layer Micropore Insulation

The GXR's chamber is insulated with two layers of micropore board and a fibre blanket — a step up from standard single-layer insulation. This dramatically reduces heat loss through the kiln walls, resulting in more even temperatures throughout the chamber, faster heat-up times, and lower electricity consumption per firing. It's the detail that separates a good kiln from a great one at this price point.

61-Litre Chamber

The extra 15 litres over the V46 translates to meaningfully more loading flexibility — taller vases, more shelving levels, or simply a bigger batch of smaller pieces. The chamber is designed with a round footprint to maximise usable space and ensure consistent heat distribution around your work from the elements down the full height of the load.

KCR32C Digital Controller

The same reliable controller as the V46, included as standard. Pre-loaded with common firing programmes and fully programmable for custom schedules. The WiFi upgrade (KCR32C WiFi) is available separately and connects your kiln to Kilncare's GATEway monitoring platform — so you can check temperatures, pause, or stop a firing remotely without being in the room.
