Olympic Kiln - 2831HE
Product Description
Olympic Kiln - 2831HE
Stackable electric models are built with Olympic’s proven electrical box design which has heat shields with top and bottom perforations to keep the electrical components cool, and balanced heating elements insure even heating of the firing chamber under all firing conditions.
These models come equipped with pilot light, metal stand, stainless steel jacket, and Bartlett 3K-CF electronic controller. Data is entered by scrolling through the up and down buttons for the desired cone fire or ramp/hold programming. Two Year Limited Kiln Warranty for cone 8 models, One-year Limited Kiln Warranty for cone 10 models.
Options include upgrading to the Genesis touchscreen controller or the 12 key digital Bartlett V6-CF controller for more ramp-hold user programs and multiple features including delay start, preheat, cone offset, skip step and many more for precise firings every time. Messages and Information are available for reviewing a firing profile before or during the firing, viewing the current segment the firing is in, and cone table for easy look up of temperature and cone number equivalents. Additional options include Type S thermocouple, 480 volt, 2 or 3 zone control, vent, and much more!
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 will save 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.
Orton Vent Master Downdraft Vent System
With all ceramic and glass kilns, we highly recommend that they be vented to the outside. But why?
First and foremost - is your safety! When heating various materials in your kiln, many have byproducts that burn off and are released into the air. These byproducts are toxic and you don't want that mixing with the air you're breathing.
The Orton Vent Master has a patented process called "Downdraft Venting". By manufacturing the kiln with a hole in the bottom, we're able to attach the vent here and pull the fumes out and vent them outside through a duct or window.
This process helps improve the air flow and produce more uniform temperatures throughout the chamber, ensuring that each of your pieces is accurately being heated. The additional oxygen will ensure your colors develop to their truest nature.
In addition, with downdraft venting - you'll extend the life of the elements and other metals within our kiln, ensuring your kiln lasts longer and you have reduced repair costs down the road. We often hear from customers that they are confident that by utilizing their venting system their kiln will last much longer than it would have otherwise and that the investment has more than paid for itself.
Lid Lifter
The optional lid lifter lightens the force necessary to operate the kiln lid. It does so with ease and grace and with no negative effects upon the kiln itself.
With many of these larger kilns, the lids tend to pack a solid punch when it comes to weight. While they're still manageable without the optional lid lifter, we've always found them to be a joy to use and make our day-to-day lives in the studio that much easier.
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.
Dual Media Lid Element
With the dual media lid element, turn this kiln into a 1-2 punch champion!
You'll be able to not only fire your ceramics pieces, but also use this kiln for all your glass fusing needs. Don't limit yourself and instead keep your options open for working with both mediums!
We often find that our customers regularly come back to purchase a second kiln dedicated to glass - Save yourself some time and money by ensuring your kiln does it all!
Multi-Zone Thermocouples
The zone control gives the controller the ability to regulate the rates of rising temperature to be even between the different zones. Meaning if the top of the kiln is lagging behind the controller will alter the rate of the bottom two zones to keep things even. When the zone control is turned on in the controller it also allows the operator to see what the temperature is, during the firing, on each of the zones.
All of this improves the evenness of the kiln temperature! We find that it is beneficial when firing a very tightly loaded kiln with lots of shelves stacked close together as a lot of potters do. It is also beneficial to those that fire sculptures that use the entire height of the kiln to ensure a nice even firing.
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:
- 6x 26" x 13" x 1" half shelves
- 6x 4" small square posts
- 6x 6" small square posts
- 6x 8" small square posts
- 6x 10" 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.
Emergency Parts Kit
The Emergency Parts Kit is an excellent resource to have on hand for when your kiln eventually needs a little maintenance after all your projects! Ensure you never need to slow down and can get right back to work.
This kit includes:
- 7 Elements
- High Temp Connectors
- Element Pins
- Transformer
- Fuse
- Pint of Mortar
- Thermocouple
- 4 Relays
- Crimping Tool
- Lead Wires with Slip-on Connectors

Customer Reviews
I would absolutely recommend Soul Ceramic for purchasing an kiln. They answered all my questions in a timely manner, offered the best price, and had great communication in regards to production and shipment. Everything I ordered arrived in perfect condition. The kiln is easy to operate and every piece of greenware, ceramics, clay, and glass I have fired so far have looked beautiful!
I live in Vermont, and the only reason to choose a ceramic supplier in Florida is if they are outstanding. Soul Ceramics is, both for their communication and competitive pricing. I asked many questions before purchasing a new kiln, and got responses from them usually within an hour of posting my question. They were thoughtful and individual responses, which helped me make an informed purchase. Once buying the kiln, they sent me weekly emails with updates about the shipment of my kiln. I am confident that they will continue to be as communicative and helpful with my needs going forward. They have my continued business and I will recommend them every chance that I get.
Olympic makes great kilns and Soul Ceramics gets them to me as quick as possible in this time. Great company communications. Fired bisque kiln for first time last week and it ran great. Cones showed it was right on the money. Looking forward to many years of future use.
Soul ceramics was very helpful and answered a long list of questions and helped me order with a special plug. I was very happy and grateful for the service from several employees who were both very thorough in getting everything set up right for my purchase- which for me , was a big one.

Olympic Kiln - 1214 120HE
Kiln arrived in good condition. The truck driver even helped me get it into the studio. Over and beyond his responsibility. There was a long wait to get the kiln, but the wait was due to back orders at Olympic not Soul. Soul has been very knowledgeable, polite and approachable for the entire transaction. I recommend them highly.
Love my new kiln it is so beautiful. Can’t wait till I can fire it. Love the oval shape
Delivery was longer than expected but SoulCeramics customer service is great, they answered my questions immediately and were very helpful.
