OLYMPIC KILNS: Commercial Gas Fired Kilns
OLYMPIC KILNS are always on sale. Please call for special pricing of the Olympic Downdraft Kilns.
We offer professional delivery and set up of these kilns with our Cargo Master Crane System.
Olympic Down Draft kilns can be
built of brick or fiber. The frame of the DownDraft kiln is made of heavy angle iron and 1" thick steel tubing. We've thickened both the brick
and fiber insulation which is now backed with an 1" airs pace created
by the square tubing between the stainless steel jacket and the
insulation. Four and one half inches of brick and 1" ceramic fiberboard
insulate the brick Down Drafts, and three inches of fiber with 1"
ceramic fiberboard insulate the fiber DownDrafts. We've added air space
with the metal tubing to the doors of the fiber and brick DownDrafts to
enhance the kiln's strength and efficiency. Additionally, the air space
results in a cooler outer surface and a thicker kiln door. Fiber and brick DownDrafts are built with double insulated floors, consisting of
brick and ceramic fiberboard. The additional strength and insulation
enables the kiln to fire at high temperatures, and to maintain
temperatures without damage or deterioration. Efficient venturi burners
are used on the Down Draft kilns with an option for blower burners if
desired.
These Olympic gas kilns can be made as a car kiln, add 25%.

Comparing gas to electric kilns
is similar to comparing sports cars
to sedans. Both will get you where
you need to go but the ride is definitely
different. Gas kilns are the sports
car of kilns. They fire to high temperatures
(high powered), cone 10/2350°F
and provide the potter the ability
to do techniques with glaze that
cannot be duplicated in an electric
kiln such as reduction. Olympic makes
updraft gas kilns (raku and torchbearer
kilns) and downdraft gas kilns. Updraft
gas kilns introduce the heat at the
bottom and exhausts at the top. These
kilns do not require a chimney to
induce a draft. The downdraft kilns
are a more complex system in that
their exhaust and intake is at the
bottom. These kilns require a chimney
or stack to induce enough draft to
pull in fresh air for combustion.
