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

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).

Overview

Olympic Kilns · Electric Kiln · Dual Media Olympic DM2327HE Dual Media Electric Kiln DM2327HE · 208/240V, 1-Phase or 3-Phase · 23.375″ W × 27″ D · 7 cu ft · Cone 10 / 2350°F The DM2327HE is built to do something most kilns can't: fire full Cone 10 ceramics and kiln-formed glass in the same chamber. A dedicated lid element engineered for glass fusing works alongside the main chamber's heavy gauge coiled elements, so one kiln can cover a ceramic reduction-style bisque or glaze firing one week and a glass fusing or slumping project the next — no second kiln, no second footprint, no second electrical hookup. For a working studio that wants to diversify into glass without doubling its equipment budget, this is the single biggest cross-sell in the Olympic lineup.

What’s included
The kiln, with its elements installedThe brick sections arrive with Olympic's heavy gauge coiled elements already set in their grooves and wired. This kiln ships as sections on a pallet together with its stand: the manual has you take the sections off the pallet and restack them on the stand where the kiln will live.
Bartlett KilnStar controller and Type K thermocoupleBoth are installed and wired at the factory, with one Type K thermocouple on a standard build and a pilot indicator light on the control panel. The Genesis touchscreen is a paid upgrade taken at order time; zone control is the option that adds thermocouples.
The lid element and its infinite switchDual Media kilns carry a second set of elements in the lid for glass work, plus an infinite switch on the panel that sets how hard those lid elements run. Both are real hardware in the crate, not an option.
The 8-inch metal stand and lid lift assistThe 8-inch stand ships with the kiln; the manual says “Your kiln must be fired only on the metal stand provided.” Olympic makes the lid lift assist standard on its 23-inch and 28-inch wide models, so this one has it. On the 18-inch wide models it is a paid option instead.
Observation plugsHollow ceramic peephole plugs ship with the kiln. Olympic publishes no count for any model, in its manuals or on its site, so we will not print a number here. Ask and we will confirm yours with the factory. Replacements are a stock part.
The operating manual and a one-year warrantyOlympic's printed operating manual travels with the kiln. Olympic's limited warranty runs two years, cut to one year on Kiln-Sitter models and on any kiln rated at cone 10. This one is rated to cone 10, so one year. Register with Olympic within 30 days of delivery and keep your invoice.
Cord and plug, or direct wired, set by your buildOlympic's plug configuration row gives a NEMA 6-30 or 6-50 plug on lower-amperage builds and Direct Wired on higher-amperage ones, and several models are listed as either. The manual hedges the same way, with “If your kiln is equipped with a power cord...”. Tell us your voltage, phase and service and we confirm which one you get before the order goes in.
Not included: furniture, vent and hookupNo kiln furniture. Every Olympic line has its own separately priced furniture kit and shelves and posts are priced one by one. The VentMaster downdraft vent, stilts, gloves, tongs, kiln wash and a pyrometer are all separate items, and no receptacle, breaker, wire or disconnect ships with the kiln.

Optional accessories
Solid State Relay (SSR) Upgrade Replaces mechanical contactors for silent operation and extended element life, valuable for kilns run in both ceramic and glass modes.
Kiln Furniture Kit (Ceramics) Shelves, posts, and stilts sized for this 23.375″ chamber for ceramic bisque and glaze firings.
Fiber Paper & Glass Kiln Shelf Fiber paper and a dedicated flat shelf protect the kiln floor and produce a clean back surface on fused glass pieces.
Orton Kiln Vent System Downdraft venting system removes fumes and moisture during firing. Improves studio air quality and glaze results.
Automatic Lid Lift Spring-assisted lid opener reduces physical strain. Especially useful given the added weight of the glass lid element.
Heavy-Duty Rolling Stand Upgraded steel stand with larger locking casters. Provides enhanced stability for this dual-purpose kiln.
Power Interrupt Safety System Automatically shuts down kiln if lid is opened during firing. Adds safety protection in multi-user studio environments.
Emergency Parts Kit Spare thermocouple, element connectors, and relay components, including a spare lid element for glass work.
Type S Thermocouple Upgrade Platinum-based sensor for improved accuracy and longevity at high temperatures. Recommended for frequent Cone 8-10 firings.
3-Phase Wiring Configuration Reduces amperage draw compared to 1-phase for facilities with 3-phase service already in place.
Controller upgrade
Genesis Touchscreen — Bartlett InstrumentsRecommended
The Genesis controller replaces the standard KilnStar with a full-color touchscreen interface and expanded programming capabilities. This is especially valuable on a dual-media kiln, since glass fusing schedules typically need many more segments and much more precise ramp/hold control than a standard ceramic firing. Store unlimited custom firing schedules with up to 32 segments each, monitor real-time temperature graphs, and access diagnostic data through the intuitive menu system.
  • 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen with graphical temperature display
  • Unlimited program storage with cloud backup capability via USB
  • Up to 32 segments per program — ideal for multi-stage glass annealing schedules
  • Real-time graphing shows temperature curve during firing
  • Advanced diagnostics including element resistance tracking and firing history logs
  • Cone Fire mode with Orton cone temperature equivalents pre-programmed for ceramic work
Common questions
How does one kiln fire both ceramics and glass?
The DM2327HE includes a dedicated lid element engineered specifically for glass fusing and slumping, in addition to the standard heavy gauge coiled elements in the main chamber walls used for ceramic bisque and glaze firing. A protective 2″ blank brick row in the first section shields the lower ceramic elements from glass drips. You fire ceramics using the chamber elements as normal, and switch to glass programs that engage the lid element for fusing work — all in the same kiln.
Do I need an electrician to install this kiln?
Yes. The DM2327HE is direct-wired and requires a dedicated circuit sized to your configuration — up to 80 amps for 1-phase 208V service, or as low as 50 amps on 3-phase service. A licensed electrician must determine the correct breaker, wire gauge, and connection for your building's available power, and installation must meet local electrical codes.
Do I need different shelves for ceramics versus glass?
Yes. Standard ceramic shelves and posts work for bisque and glaze firing, but glass fusing requires a flat, kiln-washed or fiber-papered shelf to prevent the glass from sticking and to produce a clean surface. We recommend keeping a dedicated glass shelf separate from your ceramic furniture. Peach State Pottery can help you put together a starter kit for both.
Can I still fire full Cone 10 stoneware in this kiln?
Yes. The DM2327HE's main chamber fires to Cone 10 / 2350°F exactly like a standard Olympic MAS kiln of this size. The dual-media lid element is an addition, not a replacement — you're not giving up any ceramic firing capability to gain glass capability.
How do I register my warranty?
Register your kiln at the Olympic Kilns website within 30 days of delivery. You'll need your serial number (located on the control panel label), purchase date, and proof of purchase from an authorized dealer. Warranty registration is required for coverage and must be completed within the 30-day window. Peach State Pottery can assist with registration if needed.
