GAS FIRED KILNS

If you’re looking for a way to add a whole different dimension to your ceramic art then you’ll want to investigate gas kiln firing. With gas firing, you have the ultimate control over the atmosphere your work is exposed to, which directly affects the final outcome of your glazes and clay bodies.

Gas fired kilns are a very popular choice for pottery and ceramics today, whether you need a gas kiln for pottery at home or a larger studio setup. This may be because gas kilns - whether propane or natural gas - can be efficient both financially and from an environmental standpoint. Most of our gas fired kilns run on propane, and they're cleaner than wood-burning units and use less energy than electric units. In certain areas, depending on fuel costs, they may also cost less to run.  Natural Gas vs Propane Here's the Skinny!

Here you’ll find lots of models of gas fired kilns to choose from that will suit your environment and firing style. Whether you choose an updraft or downdraft kiln, your work is large or small, a gas firing kiln can be tailored to meet your needs and expand your possibilities. Olympic's gas fired kilns are equipped to fire propane or natural gas and are configured with Raku lifts and adjustable rings. There's something for everyone!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions for Large Kilns
    What counts as a large kiln for pottery?

    A large kiln in this collection has an interior roughly 17 to 24 inches wide and deep, giving you room for tall vases, big platters, and multi-shelf production loads. These are studio and small-business kilns built for higher volume than home-size models.

    How much does a large pottery kiln cost?

    Large 17 to 24 inch kilns cost more than small or medium models because of their bigger chambers, heavier elements, and higher power draw. Price depends on cone rating, controller, and brand, so compare current listings in this collection for accurate figures.

    Do you have large electric kilns for sale for commercial use?

    Yes. This collection includes large electric and commercial-grade kilns suited to studios, schools, and small production shops. They handle frequent firing cycles and larger loads, so look for a high cone rating and a programmable controller for repeatable results.

    What electrical supply does a large kiln need?

    Large kilns almost always require a dedicated 240V circuit, and the bigger models may need 30 to 60 amps or more. Confirm the exact voltage and amperage on each listing and have an electrician verify your supply before installation.

    How big a kiln do I need for tall pottery pieces?

    Measure your tallest planned piece and add a few inches of clearance, then match that to the interior height of the kiln. A 17 to 24 inch large kiln fits most tall vases and sculptures that will not fit a medium kiln, while still being manageable for a studio.
