Olympic Kilns 209GFE Glass Firing Kiln

The Olympic Kilns 209GFE is the perfect kiln when standard shapes and sizes won’t meet your needs. Designed specifically for large and uniquely shaped glass projects, this oval kiln offers a spacious 30″ wide by 20″ front-to-back by 9″ deep firing chamber, providing the flexibility required to bring your most creative ideas to life. Whether you’re fusing glass, shaping intricate forms, or engaging in heat-treating, the 209GFE delivers precision and reliability for all your glasswork.

Advanced Heating Control for Flawless Results
Equipped with both lid and body elements, the 209GFE ensures even heating from all angles, giving you perfect results every time. The lid element focuses radiant heat during the critical fusing stage, while the body elements manage the ramp-up, cool-down, and annealing processes. The infinite switch gives you full control over the heat intensity from the lid element, allowing precise adjustments to match the specific needs of each project. With a maximum firing temperature of 1700°F, this kiln is versatile enough to handle a wide range of glass techniques.

Built for Durability and Ease of Use
Constructed with a durable stainless steel jacket and an 18″ tall metal stand, the 209GFE is built to withstand frequent use while providing ease of operation. The lid lift assist feature ensures smooth, effortless opening and closing, even for larger projects. The kiln also comes standard with the Digital KilnStar Controller, providing simple yet precise control over firing schedules to ensure consistent, reliable results with every use.

Customize Your Kiln for Enhanced Performance
Take your kiln’s performance to the next level with a range of optional upgrades. Choose the Genesis Touchscreen Controller for advanced programming features like delay start, preheat, and skip-step. Additional options include Solid State Relays for quieter, more precise operation, a bead door, quartz glass viewing window, lid element in quartz rods, or automatic lid shutoff.

You can also select from 208, 240, or 480 volts. For those interested in the 480-volt configuration, contact Pottery Pulse for electrical specifications, requirements, and pricing.
