PotterycraftsComet 60 Top Loading Kiln

A 60-litre top-loading kiln built in Stoke-on-Trent for hobby potters and small studios who've outgrown a compact 13A kiln. The Comet 60 adds meaningful capacity while keeping the straightforward top-loading format that makes it easy to work with.

  • 60-litre chamber: A significant step up from 40 litres — room for mixed loads, larger pieces, and more productive firing sessions.
  • Two-layer insulation: 64mm brick walls with 19mm backup and 108mm Ultralite granular floor — consistent temperature distribution and efficient firing.
  • Gas strut lid: Smooth, assisted lid opening and closing — both hands free for loading, no slamming or dropping.
  • Type R thermocouple: Precision temperature accuracy as standard across the Potterycrafts range.
  • Made in Stoke-on-Trent: UK-built with full factory spare parts support.

Potterycrafts Comet 60L. 32A hardwired supply required. Optional CERA-10+ controller. Free UK delivery.

Requires a dedicated 32A single-phase supply. Call 01206 648025 for advice before ordering.

The Right Step Up From a Compact Kiln

The move from 40 litres to 60 is the point at which hobby potters find their firing capacity stops being the limiting factor. A 60-litre chamber gives you enough room to fire a proper mixed load — multiple mugs and bowls at different heights, a shelf of tiles, or a combination of pieces that would mean two firings in a smaller kiln.

The Comet 60 sits in the Potterycrafts range as the step up from the Aurora — still a top-loading design, still straightforward to use, but with the additional capacity that makes a real difference to a potter who fires regularly. Like all Potterycrafts kilns, it's built in Stoke-on-Trent with the quality and durability the brand has been known for across Europe.

Note that at 5.5kW, the Comet 60 requires a dedicated 32A single-phase supply installed by a qualified electrician — it can't run from a standard 13A socket. If you need plug-in convenience, the Aurora 40 is the option. If you're ready for the step up to a proper electrical circuit and want 60 litres, the Comet is the right choice.

The Comet 60 Is Right For You If

  • You've outgrown a 40-litre kiln and need more capacity
  • You fire regularly and want to reduce the number of separate firings you need to run
  • You're ready for a dedicated 32A electrical supply and want 60 litres
  • You want Potterycrafts reliability at this capacity
  • You prefer top-loading access for its ease of packing

What the Comet 60 Delivers

60-Litre Top-Loading Chamber

60 litres gives you substantially more flexibility than a compact 40-litre kiln. At this capacity, you can run proper mixed loads — two shelves of different-sized pieces, a production batch of mugs and plates, or larger pieces that wouldn't fit comfortably at 40 litres. The top-loading format means the full chamber is accessible from above, making packing straightforward even when the load is complex.

Two-Layer Insulation

The Comet 60 uses 64mm insulation brick walls backed with 19mm insulation board, and 108mm Ultralite granular insulation in the base. Two-layer construction reduces heat loss through the walls and floor, giving more even temperature distribution throughout the chamber — important when you're firing pieces at different shelf heights — and lower electricity consumption per firing.

Built-In Safety Features

Dual contactors and over-temperature monitoring (when used with Potterycrafts controllers), a captive interlock safety switch that prevents the kiln from operating unless the lid is securely closed, and side vent with chimney for safe venting during firing. Fully ROHS and WEEE compliant. The safety specification is consistent with the larger Potterycrafts studio kilns — not a simplified version.

Requires a dedicated 32A single-phase hardwired supply — a qualified electrician is needed for installation. If you need plug-in convenience, see the Aurora 40. If you have or can install the 32A supply, the Comet 60 gives you a meaningful capacity step up for a modest additional investment.
