Transform Your Studio with the Olympic Kilns SQ169HE High Fire Test Kiln

Introducing the Olympic Kilns SQ169HE High Fire Test Kiln, designed to bring efficiency, precision, and versatility to your high-production studio pottery projects.

Innovative Design for Creative Spaces

The SQ169HE offers a unique and practical interior design, with dimensions of 16.5″ W x 9″ D, providing a spacious yet shallow workspace perfect for a wide variety of ceramic projects. Capable of reaching up to Cone 10 (2350°F/1288°C), this kiln delivers the power needed for even the most demanding high-temperature firings.

Tailored for Artistic Flexibility

Ideal for artists working on flat or expansive ceramic pieces, the SQ169HE’s compact yet wide chamber is perfect for testing new designs or handling medium-sized batches with precision. This kiln offers the flexibility to experiment and perfect your creative techniques, making it an indispensable tool for any studio.

State-of-the-Art Features for Complete Control

At the heart of the SQ169HE is the Digital KilnStar controller, offering precise control over your firing processes. This intuitive controller allows you to easily program and monitor each firing, ensuring perfect results every time. With programmable segments, delay start options, preheat settings, and adjustable hold times, the KilnStar controller makes it easy for both new and experienced artists to customize their firing schedules with confidence.

For those seeking enhanced control, consider upgrading to the Genesis Touchscreen controller, which provides a full-color touchscreen interface, real-time temperature monitoring, and the ability to store multiple firing programs. The Genesis makes even the most complex firing sequences manageable, offering a seamless and more advanced user experience for your artistic journey.

Reliability You Can Count On

The SQ169HE is built with durability and performance in mind. Featuring advanced heat shields for optimal operation of electrical components and evenly distributed heating elements for consistent results, this kiln is designed to handle the rigors of high-temperature firing. We back the SQ169HE with a one-year limited warranty, ensuring your kiln will perform reliably for years to come.

Tailor Your Experience with Custom Options

Personalize your SQ169HE with optional upgrades, such as Solid-State Relays for improved reliability and longevity. If you work with glass as well as ceramics, you can also add the dual media lid element to transform this kiln into a versatile tool for glasswork, expanding your creative possibilities even further. You may also consider ordering the taller stand that brings your kiln up to 18" off the ground, providing a more comfortable working height along with the obvious ventilation benefits from being farther off the ground. 

Complete Your Setup with a Custom Furniture Kit

The specially designed Furniture Kit for the SQ169HE includes two 15″ x 15″ shelves and an assortment of small posts (4 each of 1, 3, and 5-inch), plus a 1 pound bag of kiln wash. This kit is tailored to help you maximize your kiln’s capacity and ensure even, consistent support for your projects throughout the firing process.
