Once your rods have heated (in 10-15 minutes), you can place them directly into your torch flame without further heating. This reduces lampworking time and saves torch gas. This stove can also be used to cool your beads rather than using a ceramic fiber blanket or vermiculite crock pot. I stack my newly made beads inside on the rack (sold separately below). When I'm done, I turn off the stove and put a bit of fiber blanket at the front opening to keep the heat in longer. Just let it cool down naturally and then take your beads out. Caution: glass rods can melt and stick to the bottom of this rod warmer. The stainless steel plate (sold below) for the inside floor is strongly suggested to prevent this. This stove gets HOT!! It reaches 850 degrees Fahrenheit inside. The walls of the stove can exceed 850 degrees. So it is best to use these plates to reduce the heat on your glass and prevent melting or sticking to the stove floor. See the picture below. It is also best to use a metal tray on the outside top (sold below) to prevent frit and other small glass pieces from sticking to the stove (if you intend on using it for that). Cold beads can be reheated for reworking by first placing them in this rod warmer for about 30 minutes on a mandrel, and then carefully placing them back into the flame. (Cold beads should be placed in a cold stove only, and then heated as the stove warms up.) The Glass Rod/Bead Rack below allows a good place inside the stove to hold your mandrels.
Special Notes: It is best to not put your hot glass rods directly from your flame back into this stove. They can stick to other rods or the walls because they are much hotter than the stove. I place mine on a glass rod rack on the table for a minute or so to allow them to cool somewhat first. Heating your rods from a cold stove is best. To heat a cold rod when the stove is hot, place the rod on top of other hot rods that are already in the stove so that the tip of the cold rod is only slightly into the stove. As the cold rod heats, slowly move it deeper into the stove. This Rod Warmer is for professional use only. It is not intended to be used in the home around children or pets. It gets hot on the outside and can cause burns if touched. Please keep this stove on a metal desktop or other nonflammable surface, and away from combustible materials, children and pets. Never touch the outside of the stove when it is on.

| Feedback on the
rod warmer:
Thought I'd send you a complement on the Glass Rod Warmer I received yesterday. It is a God-send! I set it up in the afternoon and decided to put it through it's paces by putting into it my most stubborn glass rods from several different manufacturers. These glass rods are some of the most shocky, stubborn, "just throw it across the room" type of rods. Not one single rod popped or shattered! They just meekly complied to being put in the flame and melted. Bead production -UP Glass Rod Frustration - ZERO Thank you Soooo Much! ~C |
|
Hi, Got the rod warmer yesterday and thought i would try it tonight. Just playing around but it worked great. i put about 6 diferent color rods in it and let it run probably 20 minutes, pulled the rods out by 2 and put straight in flame and no shock. I think i am going to like this a lot. I am going to cut a piece of graphite to fit the top of the heater. Thanks for making this item available to us. Thanks again. ~M |

|

Hi, I was writing to let you know how much I love your rod warmer. Not only is it an extreme help with the rods not popping, but I do a tremendous amount of lace work, and then, before I had the rod warmer, when I turn the glass lace's into the fire, they usually do a bit of crack, Snapple, pop, but with this rod warmer, they just slide into the heat and on from there. Just wanted to say what a wonderful addition to my tools this rod warmer is. Thanks - V. |
