Elevate Your Pottery with the Olympic 1827G Updraft Gas Kiln

Experience the perfect blend of versatility, performance, and portability with the Olympic 1827G Updraft Gas Kiln—a top choice for potters seeking to achieve high-quality bisque, high-fire (cone 10), reduction, and raku firings. Designed for both hobbyists and professionals, this kiln offers exceptional value with its efficient operation and customizable features.

Versatile Design with Expandable Capacity

The Olympic 1827G Torchbearer Kiln is a top-loading model built in rings, allowing for flexible customization based on your firing needs. You can easily add or remove rings to adjust the kiln’s size without compromising its ability to reach high temperatures. This flexibility makes it ideal for a variety of firing applications, from small batches to larger projects.

Consistent and Reliable Firing

Constructed from durable firebrick and equipped with a venturi burner system, the 1827G ensures even heat distribution throughout the firing chamber. This consistency is crucial for achieving flawless results, whether you’re firing delicate bisque or robust stoneware at cone 10. The kiln’s multiple burner configuration provides fast, controllable firing times, making it both time-efficient and economical to operate.

Portability and Convenience

One of the standout features of the Olympic 1827G is its portability. This kiln is designed for easy movement, making it perfect for demonstration firings, workshops, or spaces where permanent installation isn’t an option. Its compact, modular design allows you to transport and set it up wherever you need, providing unmatched convenience for mobile or temporary studios.

Flexible Firing Options

The Olympic 1827G Torchbearer Kiln is compatible with both natural gas and propane, offering you the flexibility to choose the fuel source that best suits your needs. The kiln is also easily adjustable for oxidation and reduction firings, giving you complete control over the firing atmosphere. The 1827G Torchbearer comes equipped with a burner system which includes an ignition to light multiple burners at one point, maintain the flame on each burner, and re-ignite any burner that may extinguish.

Safety and Reliability

Safety is a top priority with the Olympic 1827G. The burner system includes a thermocouple safety shut-off that automatically stops gas flow if the flame is extinguished, ensuring safe operation during every firing. The kiln also comes with peephole plugs, a brick for covering the porthole during reduction, and a detailed instruction manual for easy setup and use.

Invest in Quality with Peace of Mind

Every Olympic 1827G Updraft Gas Kiln is backed by a one-year limited warranty, giving you confidence in the kiln’s quality and durability.
