Master Raku Firing with the Olympic 23" Raku Updraft Gas Kiln

Experience the perfect blend of tradition and innovation with the Olympic 23" Raku Updraft Gas Kiln, expertly designed for potters who seek to create stunning raku pieces. This kiln is a top choice for artists looking for a versatile, portable, and efficient solution to achieve beautiful raku effects, high-fire ceramics, and more.

Designed for Optimal Raku Firing

The Olympic 23" Raku Kiln is engineered with a unique hand-crank system that elevates the firing chamber, allowing for quick access to your work while retaining heat. This design not only speeds up the raku process but also ensures safety by keeping the heat away from the operator. The ability to access your pieces from all sides makes it easier to achieve consistent results, enhancing your creative control during the firing process.

Built for Durability and Performance

Constructed from high-quality firebrick and equipped with a venturi burner system, this kiln ensures even temperature distribution for consistent firings. Whether you're firing at cone 10 (up to 2350°F/1288°C) or conducting reduction and raku firings, the Olympic 23" Raku Kiln delivers reliable performance every time.

Versatile and Portable

The Olympic 23" Raku Kiln is not just powerful; it's also portable. Its compact size and stackable design make it easy to transport, ideal for demonstrations, workshops, or studios with limited space. The kiln’s multiple burner configuration ensures even heating, fast firing times, and economical operation, making it a cost-effective choice for both beginners and experienced potters.

Customizable Burner Options

Choose the setup that fits your needs: the Olympic 23" Raku Kiln is available with standard burners or an advanced burner system that includes an ignition system. This system allows for the ignition of multiple burners simultaneously, maintains consistent flames, and automatically reignites if necessary. The thermocouple safety shut-off feature ensures that the gas flow stops if the flame is lost, providing peace of mind during firings.

Complete Kiln Package

Each Olympic Raku Kiln comes with a welded frame, peephole plugs, a brick for covering the porthole during reduction, and a detailed instruction manual. The kiln is also backed by a one-year limited warranty, ensuring long-term durability and customer satisfaction.

Unlock the Beauty of Raku

With the Olympic 23" Raku Updraft Gas Kiln, you can easily create the striking metallic lusters and rich textures that raku firing is known for. Whether you're working with propane or natural gas, this kiln offers the flexibility and precision needed to explore and master the ancient art of raku.
