Who it's for
Business-grade temperature control, for your own build.
This is for the hands-on builder who wants to program the controller from a phone instead of poking through shorthand menus on a small display. If you are wiring your own control box, building a forge or a kiln, running a specialty cure like Cerakote, or replacing a controller that quit, this is the part that runs the show. It is the "brains" you wire into your own build. You already have the box, so you just need the controller.
A working business tool · Model Ramp & Soak Bluetooth Controller
You program it from your phone, in plain English.
This model adds Bluetooth and a free phone app (Quick Tune, from the app store). Most people who buy the Bluetooth version buy it for exactly this: setting temperatures and steps on a phone screen in plain words, instead of decoding shorthand on the little controller face.
It does ramp-and-soak.
Ramp-and-soak means the controller steps through a schedule on its own: ramp up to a temperature, hold ("soak") it, then move to the next step. This unit stores 20 of those profiles, up to 9 steps each. If you run a multi-step cure like Cerakote, that is the feature you came for.
You get a fully featured controller, not a bare-bones one.
The cheap controllers you find online usually skip the combination that matters: a built-in timer, shutoff ability, pulse output (it rapidly switches the element to hold temperature) for a solid-state relay (the electronic switch that pulses the heating element on and off), and ramp-and-soak, together in one unit. This one has all of that, plus phone programming. It also carries a cycle alarm and a high-visibility multicolor LCD.
You program it with a real person on the phone if you want.
Call us for as long as you own it and we will walk you or your employees through the programming. That does not stop when the warranty does.
It runs more than a powder oven.
Set it well beyond an oven's range for a forge or a kiln, or switch it to a cooling application. It does the same on-off control either direction.

From their shops
Real ovens, in real shops, from a real company.
“Just received my 5x4x4 electric oven and it looks absolutely amazing. Extremely well built, delivery was timely and professional, and customer service has so far been top notch!”
“Thanks for the crazy quick and precise delivery. You guys went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule.”
“It was packaged very well. They told me they would ship it within just a couple days. Believe it or not, it actually happened that way.”
Every review here was freely given. We do not buy reviews and we never have.
Straight answers
The questions buyers actually ask. Answered on the page.
Is this company real? Who am I buying from?
Fair question. Silverback is a real shop. Every oven is built and tested in our shop, our address is on this site, and the company is veteran owned. Call 314-202-4027 and you will talk to a real person.
Will it work with my power?
Everything you need is printed on this page, in plain text. Not sure? Snap a photo of your panel and call us, and we will walk through it together.
I could just build one myself.
You could, and on materials alone a home build can come out cheaper. The real cost is time and risk: the weekends spent cutting, sealing, and wiring are weekends not spent coating paid work, and a home build is not engineered, tested, or warrantied. It shows up in 5 to 7 business days, programmed and ready to wire into your build, with a 2-year parts warranty behind it. If you are set on building, we also sell the PID controller and parts, which are the hard part to source.
Will it fit my box or panel?
Confirm the fit in your own box or panel before you buy: the manual linked on this page covers your unit, and if you are not sure, call us and we will walk through it together.
What is included in the price?
It arrives programmed and ready to wire into your build, and a 2-year parts warranty and lifetime phone support are included at no upcharge. Add-ons are optional, so you only pay for what your work needs.
Do you help with setup?
Yes. Lifetime phone support is included: call for as long as you own it and we will walk you through setup, programming, or a repair, no matter when you bought. Everything you need is printed on this page in plain text.
What is ramp and soak, and who needs it?
Ramp and soak means the controller steps through a temperature schedule on its own: it ramps up to a temperature, holds it (the soak), then moves to the next step. Most powder jobs cure at a single temperature, so the standard controller covers them. If you run multi-step cures like Cerakote, ramp and soak is exactly what you want.
In our line, ramp and soak comes on the Bluetooth Ramp and Soak controller, which you program from your phone. The other controllers, including the touchscreen, do not include it.
How does the Bluetooth Ramp and Soak app work?
The Bluetooth Ramp and Soak controller pairs with a free phone app (Quick Tune, in the app store). You set temperatures, times, and stepped profiles in plain English on your phone instead of stepping through shorthand menus on the controller face, and it stores up to 20 profiles with up to 9 steps each.
If you would rather have a person on the line, call us at 314-202-4027 and we will walk you through it.
