Master Large-Scale Glass Firing with the Olympic Kilns 2514GFE: The Oval Kiln Built for Versatility

Ideal for Complex Glass Firing Needs

The Olympic Kilns 2514GFE is the ultimate kiln for glass artists working on large or uniquely shaped projects. Its spacious firing chamber, measuring 37″ wide by 25″ front-to-back by 13.5” deep, is perfect for accommodating oversized pieces that don’t fit in traditional cylindrical or square kilns. Whether you’re fusing intricate glass designs, forming complex shapes, or performing heat-treating tasks, the 2514GFE provides the versatility and capacity to handle any challenge with ease.

Advanced Heating for Precision Control

The 2514GFE is equipped with both lid and body elements to ensure even, precise heating throughout the firing process. The lid element supplies radiant heat during the fusing stage, while the body elements manage ramp-up, cool-down, and annealing phases. The infinite switch gives you full control over the intensity of the lid element, allowing you to customize the heat distribution based on the needs of each project. This flexibility ensures consistent, high-quality results every time.

Built to Last with User-Friendly Features

Constructed with a durable stainless-steel jacket and supported by an 18″ tall metal stand, the 2514GFE is built for long-term use in any professional studio. The kiln comes equipped with the Digital KilnStar Controller, offering precise control over firing schedules with easy scroll functionality for ramp-hold settings. Additional features include a pilot light for safety, peephole plugs for monitoring progress, and a comprehensive instruction manual to guide you through every step of operation.

Customize Your Kiln for Enhanced Performance

The 2514GFE offers several optional upgrades to enhance its performance and meet your specific needs. You can choose the Genesis Touchscreen Controller for even more advanced programming capabilities. Other customization options include a bead door, quartz glass viewing window, lid element in quartz rods, and automatic lid shutoff, allowing you to tailor the kiln to your exact specifications.

For artists requiring a kiln built for 3-phase wiring, Pottery Pulse is available to assist with custom configurations.

Optimize Your Studio with Tailored Accessories

Complete your studio setup with an optional Furniture Kit tailored to the 2514GFE. This kit includes two layers of shelving for efficient stacking, square posts, and ceramic paper, ensuring that your glass pieces are evenly supported and heated during firing. Whether you choose the standard kit or build your own, these accessories will help you maintain a productive and efficient workspace.

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.)
