Master Large-Scale Glass Firing with the Olympic Kilns 2014GFE

Precision and Versatility for Complex Glass Projects

The Olympic Kilns 2014GFE is expertly designed for glass artists who push the boundaries of traditional glasswork. With its spacious 30″ wide by 20″ front-to-back by 13.5” deep firing chamber, this oval kiln is the ideal solution for large, irregularly shaped pieces that don’t fit in standard cylindrical or square kilns. Whether you're fusing intricate glass designs, shaping complex forms, or handling heat-treating tasks, the 2014GFE offers the precision and reliability you need to bring your creative visions to life.

Advanced Heating Control for Flawless Results

The 2014GFE comes equipped with both lid and body elements, ensuring that your glass projects receive uniform heat for consistent, high-quality results. The lid element provides radiant heat necessary for the fusing stage, while the body elements manage the ramping up, cooling down, and annealing processes. The kiln's infinite switch gives you precise control over the intensity of the lid element, allowing you to fine-tune the heat distribution to suit the specific needs of each project. Whether working on delicate pieces or large-scale designs, the 2014GFE adapts effortlessly to your needs.

Built to Last, Designed for Ease

Constructed with a durable stainless-steel jacket and supported by an 18″ tall metal stand, the 2014GFE is built for long-lasting performance in your studio. The lid lift assist feature makes it easy to open and close the kiln, even with larger or heavier projects, helping you manage substantial workloads with ease. The kiln also comes standard with the Digital KilnStar Controller, providing precise and intuitive control over your firing schedules for dependable, accurate results every time.

Enhance Your Kiln with Customizable Options

For glass artists looking for more advanced control, the 2014GFE offers the option to upgrade to the Genesis Touchscreen Controller. The Genesis provides expanded programming capabilities, including delay start, preheat, and advanced ramp-hold programming, all through a user-friendly touchscreen interface. Additional customizable options include a bead door, a quartz glass viewing window, and a lid element in quartz rods, allowing you to tailor the kiln to your specific preferences.

Optimize Your Workspace with Tailored Accessories

Maximize the efficiency of your kiln with an optional Furniture Kit, designed to support your unique firing process. The 2014GFE furniture kit includes two layers of shelving for stacking ware, square posts, and ceramic paper, ensuring that your glass pieces are evenly supported and heated throughout the firing process. Choose the standard kit or customize your own to create the perfect setup for your studio’s needs.

Built for Unconventional Creations

The Olympic Kilns 2014GFE is more than just a kiln—it’s a comprehensive solution for glass artists who require precision, flexibility, and reliability in their work.

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.)
