Dual-Element System for Unmatched Control
The Square 186GFE features a dual-element system, with a lid element dedicated to the fusing segment and a body element for precise control during ramping, annealing, and cooling. The unique selector switch on the electrical box empowers you to choose between the lid or body element, adapting to the specific needs of your project with ease and precision.
A Symphony of Advanced Features
With Olympic Kilns, you're not just buying a kiln; you're investing in an experience. The Square 186GFE comes standard with the Bartlett Digital KilnStar controller, but you can consider an upgrade to the Genesis Touchscreen controller for even more advanced features that add to the precision and convenience of your firing experience. Monitor your firing profile with ease, ensuring exact firings every time.
Customization at Your Fingertips
Make the Square 186GFE uniquely yours with a range of optional enhancements. From the practicality of the lid lift assist and the clarity of a quartz glass viewing window to the convenience of a vent system, your kiln can be tailored to fit your artistic vision.
You might also might want to add lid elements in the quartz rods for glass firing.
Effortless Mobility and Safety
Consider the stand with caster wheels for effortless relocation within your workspace, ensuring your kiln is always in the perfect spot. And for peace of mind, the automatic lid shutoff switch is a must-have, cutting power to the heating elements when the kiln is open and reinstating it upon closure.
You can also add a flash arm, an optional metal arm on the kiln that is notched for 2″ and 4″ openings for the lid venting.

Including two layers of 16" x16" shelving, assorted square posts (4 each of 1/2, 1, and 2 inch posts), and 3 square feet of ceramic paper; it's designed to maximize your firing space and protect both your kiln and creations.
Innovative Solid State Relay for Efficiency and Durability
