Furniture Kits for Front Loading electric models provide 2-3  layers of shelving,  assorted posts, and a one pound bag of kiln wash. Choose the standard furniture kit or build your own with shelves and posts the quantities required. 

Solid State Relay

A Solid State Relay is hands down the best investment you can make in your kiln!

The relay is what controls the power cycling of the elements in the kiln and they need to be able to withstand a ton of power as they do so. The solid state relays are incredibly efficient compared to the standard mechanical relays and are able to operate at much faster speeds. What this equates to is incredibly tight temperature control for accurate firings, longer element life, and savings on your electrical bill!

The standard mechanical relays have moving parts which cause wear and tear over the years and will eventually need to be replaced; however with a solid state relay it’s likely to last the entire life of the kiln! You willsave money and time by never needing to worry about this in the future!

Controller Selection

Olympic has close relationships with the manufacturers of a variety of digital controllers. This means you will have nothing but the best the best in terms of performance and accuracy in your firings.

With a selection of multiple controllers available – you can choose exactly what fits your needs.

Genesis by Barlett Instruments

The Genesis is a touch screen option which has extended functionality over traditional button controllers!

The Genesis has the ability to store up to 12 different programs – with up to 32 segments per program each! You’ll have no trouble adding segments, skipping, or adding temperature along the way.

This is a great choice for a controller if you want the features of a smart controller, but want the ease of straightforward programming and use.

KilnStar by Barlett Instruments

With an intuitive keypad and versatile features, the Bartlett KilnStar Controller allows operators to create up to 6 custom firing programs, each with up to 8 segments, or combine them for 16-segment programs for more complex firings!

Need to adjust on-the-go? The KilnStar makes it easy to add time, skip segments, or adjust the final temperature mid-firing. Preheat is a breeze too, with the option to hold the kiln at 200°F for drying ware before moving into the firing cycle.

Cone Fire mode simplifies ceramic firings, while Vary-Fire offers full control over firing profiles, perfect for glass and jewelry. Whether you’re firing ceramics, glass, or custom projects, the KilnStar is a flexible and powerful tool for any kiln operator.

Stand with caster wheels

The standard order of this kiln comes with a stationary stand built to handle the weight, heat, and shape of the kiln. While this works perfectly fine, attempting to move your kiln can be a difficult maneuver and could result in a damaged stand, or worse – a broken kiln!

Ordering a stand with caster wheels ensures the whole process of moving your kiln for any reason is a smooth and simple process.

No longer worry about if you’re running out of room within your garage – you can tuck your kiln away in a corner when it’s not in use! And of course – if you’re one for moving the kiln around the studio or other rooms, this is essentially a necessity.

When ordered with a vent system – make sure to detach first before moving the kiln.

Depending on the model, the stand will vary in height. Its primary use is for mobility.

Power Interrupt Switch / Automatic Lid Shutoff

The power interrupt switch is a useful safety feature which removes power from the heating elements of your kiln once it is opened, and reapplies the power once the lid has been closed.

If you believe you’d ever like to open the kiln during firing, the power interrupt switch is a highly recommended addition to your new purchase.

Furniture Kit

Furniture Kits are necessary accessories for any kiln owner as firing directly on the kiln floor is not only bad for the kiln, but your pieces as well. In addition to this, they’re also useful! A furniture kit will allow you to stack multiple shelves on top of one another in order to maximize the useable space when firing smaller pieces.

If you have one that will fit this kiln size already, then you’re in luck! But if not, you’ll want to ensure you add this to your order as well.

Furniture Kit includes:

• 1x 9″ x 7″ rectangle shelves
• 4x 1″ small square posts
• 4x 3″ small square posts
• 4x 5″ small square posts
• 1x 1 lb bag kiln wash

Kiln furniture can be special ordered separately, but if done so the cost is ~10-20% higher and will incur a separate shipping charge. It’s best to include this on your initial order of the kiln.

* Received shelves may contain surface imperfections such as scratches, discoloration or rough edge. These possible imperfections are understood and accepted by the buyer.

Bead Door

The Bead Door is a 2″ x 4″ opening with an insulated door covering. This is a very useful option when you need quick and easy access into the interior of your kiln, without opening the main door and releasing the kiln’s heat.

* The Bead Door is not compatible with the slotted brick door.
