We have redesigned our popular Phoenix furnace/glory hole combination for improved performance, aesthetics, and construction. A perfect addition to any hot shop, we designed this one with versatility and affordability in mind. It is side-fired instead of top-fired, with a Pine Ridge Ribbon burner and variable speed blower, and can accommodate a wide array and assortment of free standing crucibles. You can melt a single large pot of glass or try several smaller crucibles to have multiple color pots at once!* No need to commit; you can switch out with relative ease via the front door! Slower heat-up on the freestanding set-up is recommended to help prolong the life of your crucible(s).**

*Important note about melting color:
​We do not provide technical information about melting color. It is up to the Phoenix owner/user(s) to follow appropriate safety protocols according to your local, state, and/or federal guidelines for hazardous materials. The Phoenix owner is responsible for conducting their own research and safe operations, and for any potential infractions and their consequences that may result from the use of this or any other Phoenix furnace or related equipment. Mobile Glassblowing Studios, LLC assumes no liability for Phoenix owner and/or user's operation of equipment.
**Important note about free standing crucibles: 
​Careful attention to slow heat-up and cool-down is advised to prolong the life of your crucible(s). Due to the variable nature of firing a free standing crucible, the crucibles are not covered under warranty. We recommend having a back-up crucible on hand at all times so that you can continue to work even in the event of crucible failure. As always, we recommend removing unused glass from your crucible at the end of your work session prior to cool-down.
