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

Direct-wired (no plug): 240V/56A (70-amp breaker) or 208V/65A (80-amp breaker). Not included: kiln shelves, posts, kiln wash, vent and castors (sold separately).

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  ·  Large Capacity Front-Loading Olympic Kilns FL12E Large Capacity Kiln Model FL12E · 240V or 208V · 24" W x 24" D x 36" H · 12 Cu. Ft. · Fires to Cone 10 / 2350°F The FL12E is a high-volume production kiln built for schools, community studios, and small production potteries that need reliable cone 10 performance and serious chamber capacity. With 12 cubic feet of firing space and a heavy-duty welded frame, this front-loading workhorse is designed to handle frequent use and demanding production schedules. Its 24" x 24" x 36" chamber accommodates tall vessels, stacked platters, and batch production with ease.

Voltage240V or 208V
Loading StyleFront-Loading
What’s included
The kiln, with its elements installedThe chamber arrives with Olympic's heavy gauge coiled elements already set in the brick and wired to the control panel. Olympic's manual puts this kiln in its ready-to-fire-on-arrival list, so there is nothing to stack or bolt together.
Bartlett KilnStar controller, fitted and wiredThe KilnStar is the standard controller on this kiln and it is installed and wired at the factory. The Genesis touchscreen is a paid upgrade taken at order time, and Olympic's 2026 range no longer offers the RTC-1000, Kiln Sitter, 3-key or V6-CF, so nothing legacy ships here.
One Type K thermocouple and the pilot lightA single Type K thermocouple comes installed and wired to the controller. The control panel also carries a pilot indicator light that comes on whenever the kiln is live. Extra thermocouples only arrive with the 2-zone or 3-zone option, and a Type S is a paid substitution.
The integral steel frame, so no separate standLarge Capacity kilns are built on their own welded heavy angle iron and metal tubing frame, so there is nothing to fit underneath and no separate stand in the crate. Castors and the shelf rack are separate paid items.
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.
Direct wired, so no cord or plugLarge Capacity kilns are hard wired by a licensed electrician, so no cord or plug is fitted and none ships. The receptacle, breaker, copper wire and disconnect are all your electrician's work and your cost.
Not included: relay upgrade, furniture and hookupSolid state relays cost extra and are required in CA, IL, CT, MN, ME, MA, NH, NY, RI and VT, so budget for them in those states. Castors, the shelf rack and the furniture kit are separate items, and the VentMaster vent, stilts, gloves, kiln wash, a pyrometer and all electrical hookup are not supplied.
Key features
Bartlett 12-key KilnStar digital controller12-key digital controller with multiple ramp-hold programs for complete firing flexibility. Includes delay start, preheat, cone offset, skip step functions, and an on-screen cone table for quick temperature-to-cone conversions during programming.
Welded heavy angle iron frameWelded steel construction provides exceptional structural integrity for production environments where the kiln will be fired frequently. Built to handle the thermal stress of years of cone 10 firings without warping or flexing.
Stainless steel jacketDurable stainless steel exterior resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance even in humid or high-traffic studio environments. Easy to clean and built to last decades.
Pilot lightVisible indicator light lets you see at a glance whether the kiln is actively firing. Essential for shared studio spaces and safety monitoring.
Dedicated breaker boxEquipped with its own integrated breaker box for easy access, enhanced safety, and lockout/tagout capability. Simplifies installation and provides convenient power control right at the kiln.
Front-loading swing doorThe door swings open for direct access to the entire chamber, making loading and unloading faster and safer than top-loading designs. Ideal for heavy production ware and tall pieces.

Common questions
Do I need an electrician to install this kiln?Yes. The FL12E draws 56 amps at 240V (70-amp breaker) or 65 amps at 208V (80-amp breaker) on a dedicated, direct-wired circuit, and installation must comply with local electrical codes. A licensed electrician should evaluate your electrical panel capacity, run the appropriate gauge wire, and install the proper breaker. The kiln comes with its own breaker box that connects to your building's dedicated circuit.
What comes in the furniture kit and how much can I load?The furniture kit includes 4 layers of kiln shelves sized for this 24" x 24" chamber, assorted posts to create the shelf configurations you need, and a 5 lb bag of kiln wash. The 12 cubic foot chamber and front-loading design accommodate large production loads, tall sculptures, and stacks of functional ware.
How much production work can this kiln handle?The FL12E is built for frequent firing in school and small production pottery environments. Its 12 cubic feet of space, heavy-duty welded frame, and cone 10 capability make it ideal for studios firing multiple times per week. With proper maintenance and a solid state relay, this kiln can handle decades of consistent production use.
Should I add a solid state relay?Absolutely, especially for production-scale use. The solid state relay provides tighter temperature control for more consistent results, extends element life significantly, reduces your electric bill, and eliminates the mechanical wear that eventually requires relay replacement. For a kiln at this investment level being fired frequently, the solid state relay pays for itself.
Does buying from Peach State Pottery affect my warranty?No. We are an authorized Olympic Kilns dealer. Your one-year warranty is fully valid and you have direct access to Olympic’s factory support team. Buying from an unauthorized seller or the used market can void your warranty entirely.
