This kiln is a powerhouse for both aspiring and seasoned ceramic artists, offering unmatched control, precision, and limitless creativity. Its exceptional features and adaptability make it a standout choice in the world of ceramics.

Precision Firing Redefined

Achieve flawless results with the 1414FLE, capable of firing up to Cone 8/2300°F in a chamber that measures at 14.5"W x 13.5"D (front-to-back) x 10"H (at its peak). This kiln is meticulously designed to bring your ceramic creations to life with accuracy and consistency, ensuring professional results every time.

(Note: The maximum firing temperature with the optional quartz viewing window is 1700°F.)

Command Your Craft with Advanced Controls

The 1414FLE comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, providing easy-to-use yet precise control over your firing process. With the ability to program custom firing profiles, the KilnStar ensures that every piece is fired to perfection, making it ideal for frequent use in the studio.

For those looking for even more control, the Genesis Touchscreen controller is available as an upgrade. The Genesis offers enhanced customization with up to 12 programs and 32 segments per program, giving you unparalleled flexibility in managing your firing schedules. With its intuitive touchscreen interface and advanced features like delay start, preheat, and skip-step functions, the Genesis controller is the ultimate tool for precise and reliable firings.

Door Design Options for Your Workflow

The front-loading 1414FLE offers a choice between a bottom-hinged or guillotine-hinged door. Select the design that best fits your workspace and firing needs for smooth and efficient operation.

Tailor-Made for Your Art

The Olympic Kilns 1414FLE is all about customization. Choose your preferred voltage, controller, and door hinge style to suit your studio's specific requirements.

Solid State Relays: A Smart Investment

For ultimate control, solid state relays provide superior performance by offering faster response times, greater temperature accuracy, and extended element life. Solid state relays last longer than traditional mechanical relays, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring consistent firing results over the long term.

FAQs - Configuring Your Kiln

There are certain selections you must choose. And then there are options you can click on or ignore. The answers below should help you make the best choices for you.

 Which Kiln Voltage Should I Select?

Higher voltage means lower amperage draw and greater efficiency, which can save money long term. 240V and 208V cost the same—most home studios use 240V, while 208V is common in schools or large facilities. Amperage refers to the amount of electrical current a kiln draws—higher amps require heavier wiring and breakers.

What's The Difference Between Single-Phase and Three-Phase?

Single-phase is what almost all homes have. If your facility has three-phase, you can choose either—but three-phase is typically the better long-term option due to smoother power and improved efficiency.

Which Relay Option Do I Need?

Mechanical relays are standard and reliable. Solid-state relays (SSR) offer silent operation, faster cycling, greater precision, and longer lifespan—ideal for frequent or high-accuracy firings.

What Are The Differences Between Kiln Controllers?

The following controllers are used across kilns sold by Pottery Pulse. Not all models offer every option—available controllers are listed on each product page. Some kilns include only the standard controller, while most allow upgrades for added precision and convenience.

Olympic Kilns

  • Infinite Switch – Manual dial control for simple heat adjustments.
  • KilnStar – Digital controller with preset and user-defined programs.
  • Genesis – Advanced touchscreen interface with Wi-Fi and data logging.

Evenheat Kilns

  • Icon – Digital 3-button controller for straightforward firing.
  • RampMaster II – Manual digital controller for ceramic kilns; flexible ramp/hold programming.
  • RampMaster 3 – Updated version for glass kilns with refined interface.
  • Icon+ – Enhanced digital control with expanded profiles and precision.
  • TAP II – Smart touchscreen controller with Wi-Fi, data tracking, and remote access.

Hot Shot Kilns

  • Novus – “Set & Go” controller: set a target temperature and it does the rest (no segments).
  • Spark – Entry-level touchscreen controller with intuitive operation and limited program control.
  • TAP II – Smart touchscreen controller with Wi-Fi and real-time monitoring.

Jen-Ken Kilns

  • Orton AF3P 3-Button – Reliable and straightforward for basic firing.
  • Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Key – Expanded program capacity and fine control.
  • Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen – Modern, responsive touchscreen interface.
  • TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller – Wi-Fi connectivity and real-time data tracking.

What Are Collars For?

Not all kilns can use a collar, but Olympic’s Hot Box kilns can be ordered with a collar to expand versatility. A blank collar simply adds height to the firing chamber, while a bead collar adds the same height and includes a built-in bead or annealing door for quick-access lampwork projects.

What Does The Power Interrupt Switch Do?

This safety feature automatically cuts power to the heating elements whenever the kiln lid or door is opened. It prevents accidental burns, protects elements, and resumes power only when safely closed. (Also called an automatic lid shutoff on Olympic kilns.)
