Olympic Large Oval Kilns

Models on this page:
2518, 2523, 2527, 2531: 25" w x 37" long, 7.93-13.9 cubic feet, Cone 8 or 10

Olympic Oval kilns were created to fill many needs.  First to provide a kiln for large ceramic pieces and big commercial loads while requiring little more floor space than the cylindrical kiln.  

Second, to offer easy loading and energy efficiency.  The ovals have heavy duty construction to go with their large size.  The bottom slab of all oval kilns is built into the bottom ring and reinforced with a galvanized metal plate for support.  

All oval kilns are constructed of 3" brick for added insulation and strength.  Balanced heating elements ensure an even distribution of heat within the kiln, regardless of the load being fired.  

The lid is attached to the kiln with an oversized hinge and locking lid brace combination and secured to hidden reinforcing plates for added durability.  The lid also has a hole in the center for venting.  

Ring configuration allows easy disassembly for size change and movement, and each ring has two handles for easy lifting.  Olympic's unique ring lock prevents shifting of the kiln rings when in use.
