Authorized Olympic dealer · full factory warranty

Brand new and shipped direct from Olympic Kilns, so it carries Olympic's full factory warranty. If something goes wrong, call us and we handle the claim with the factory for you.

Warranty terms are in the Warranty and support section below.

Returns: request within 15 days, unused

Because kilns are heavy and often built to order, returns are limited, so we'd rather help you pick the right one up front:

  • Ask within 15 days of purchase or 2 days after delivery, whichever comes first. We issue a return authorization (RA).
  • It must be new, unused (beyond the factory test fire) and in its original packaging.
  • A restocking fee of at least 25% applies, up to 50% on custom, 3-phase or made-to-order units. Return freight is on the buyer unless we made an error.
  • Damaged in transit? Note it on the delivery receipt, send us photos and we'll help with the freight claim.

Will it work in my space? Power check

No plug: direct-wired to a 70-amp (240V) or 80-amp (208V) single-phase circuit by an electrician.

Most 240V kilns need their own circuit and the matching outlet, installed by an electrician. Homes are usually 240V; schools and commercial buildings are often 208V, so pick the voltage that matches your panel.

Send us a photo of your breaker panel or outlet and we'll confirm before your kiln is built: 470-264-3563 (call or text).

Common questions
What electrical work is required for the 2827HE Freedom Package?
The 2827HE requires a dedicated 70-amp circuit at 240V (80-amp at 208V) with #4 copper wire minimum. It can run on 240V or 208V, single phase or three phase power. A licensed electrician must install the appropriate circuit and direct-wire the kiln (it does not use a plug). Confirm your building's available voltage before ordering, as amperage and wattage vary between 240V and 208V installations.
Does the Freedom Package include kiln shelves and posts?
Yes. The Freedom Package includes a complete furniture kit with high-temperature shelves and posts sized for the 28.25″ chamber diameter. This is one of the key advantages of the Freedom Package—you receive everything needed to start firing immediately without purchasing furniture separately.
What is the Freedom Kit, and why does a spare set of elements matter?
The Freedom Kit is Olympic's emergency repair kit, included with every Freedom series kiln. It contains two replacement elements with pins and connectors, a spare thermocouple, a crimping tool, a pint of mortar, and a wiring schematic. Elements are the part of an electric kiln that wears out, and they usually fail mid-firing with a load inside. Having the spares already on your shelf means you swap the element yourself and fire again the same week, instead of waiting on a parts order and a service call. The thermocouple and mortar cover the other two most common service items.
How does the stackable design work on Olympic kilns?
Olympic's stackable kilns use modular sections that can be added or removed to adjust chamber height. Each section includes elements and connects with simple fasteners. You can purchase additional sections to increase firing capacity or remove sections to fire shorter loads more efficiently. The 2827HE ships as a complete 27″ height chamber but is compatible with Olympic's stackable section system.
What's the difference between the Freedom Package and buying the kiln separately?
The Freedom Package bundles the 2827HE kiln body with everything you need to fire it: the KilnStar digital controller, a complete furniture kit of shelves, posts and kiln wash, a 33-piece assorted stilt kit, a VentMaster downdraft vent system, and the Freedom Kit emergency repair kit. Buying these components separately would cost significantly more than the Freedom Package price. This is Olympic's turnkey solution for potters who want a complete, ready-to-fire system.
How do I register my warranty?
Olympic requires warranty registration within 30 days of delivery. You'll receive registration instructions with your kiln shipment. Warranty is valid only when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. Register online at Olympic's website with your serial number, purchase date, and dealer information.
