Kiln Furniture
Shelves and posts sized for this kiln's chamber. They hold your work in layers so you can fill the kiln on every firing.
Who needs it: Everyone. Nothing ships inside the kiln crate, so without shelves and posts you can't load or fire the kiln.
Skip it if you already own shelves and posts that fit this exact chamber size.

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 · Large Capacity Front-Loading
Olympic FL24E Large Capacity Front-Loading Electric Kiln
The FL24E is a commercial-grade front-loading kiln built for production studios, universities, and schools that need serious, repeatable capacity. Its 24 cubic foot chamber — nearly three times the size of a standard stackable kiln — loads through a full front door instead of a lid, making it far easier to load and unload heavy shelves of ware. With 4.5-inch brick plus an inch of ceramic fiber backup insulation, it's engineered to hold Cone 10 heat efficiently through long, heavy production cycles.
Max TemperatureCone 10 / 2350°F
Firing Chamber34″ W × 34″ D × 36″ H / 24 cu ft
Voltage208/240V, 1-phase or 3-phase
Breaker RequiredUp to 130 amp
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 KilnStar Controller
12-key digital controller with Ramp/Hold and Cone Fire programming, sized for this commercial kiln's production schedules.
4.5″ Brick + 1″ Fiber Insulation
Heavier insulation than Olympic's stackable line, built to hold heat efficiently across this kiln's much larger chamber.
Full Front-Loading Door
Swing-open front door instead of a lid, making it far easier to load, unload, and stack heavy shelves at any level of the chamber.
Welded Angle Iron Frame
Heavy structural steel frame supports the weight of this large-capacity chamber and the stainless jacket for years of production use.
Stainless Steel Jacket
Durable outer shell with corrosion resistance. Provides structural support and a clean, commercial appearance.
Integrated Breaker Box
Built-in electrical box simplifies the electrician's connection and keeps wiring contained and protected.
Pilot Light
External indicator shows when kiln is receiving power and heating elements are energized.
Type K Thermocouple
Industrial-grade temperature sensor positioned for accurate chamber temperature reading.

Optional accessories
Solid State Relay (SSR) Upgrade
Replaces mechanical contactors for silent operation and extended element life — especially valuable on a kiln run this frequently.
Kiln Furniture Kit
Shelves, posts, and stilts sized for the 34″ chamber. A full furniture set represents a significant investment for a kiln this size — plan accordingly.
Kiln Vent System
Commercial-grade venting sized for this chamber's volume removes fumes and moisture and improves shop air quality.
Multi-Zone Control Upgrade
Independent control of multiple element zones compensates for heat variance across this very large chamber, top to bottom.
3-Phase Wiring Configuration
Reduces amperage draw substantially compared to 1-phase — often the preferred configuration for facilities with 3-phase service.
Power Interrupt Safety System
Automatically shuts down kiln if the door is opened during firing. Strongly recommended for shared school and studio environments.
Loading Cart or Shelving Dolly
Rolling cart sized to the chamber height speeds loading and unloading of heavy shelves through the front door.
Emergency Parts Kit
Spare thermocouple, element connectors, and relay components. Minimizes downtime on a kiln this central to daily production.
Type S Thermocouple Upgrade
Platinum-based sensor for improved accuracy and longevity at high temperatures. Recommended for daily Cone 8-10 production use.
Custom Voltage Configuration
Olympic can configure the FL24E for other commercial voltage services on request — ask Peach State Pottery before ordering.
Controller upgrade
Genesis Touchscreen — Bartlett InstrumentsRecommended
The Genesis controller replaces the standard 12-key KilnStar with a full-color touchscreen interface and expanded programming capabilities. On a production kiln this size, the ability to store unlimited firing schedules and log firing history for quality control is a real operational advantage.
- 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 for complex firing schedules
- Real-time graphing shows temperature curve during firing
- Advanced diagnostics including element resistance tracking and firing history logs — useful for production quality control
- Cone Fire mode with Orton cone temperature equivalents pre-programmed
Common questions
Do I need an electrician to install this kiln?
Yes, and for the FL24E this is not optional or minor — the 1-phase configuration draws up to 98 amps and requires a 130-amp breaker, while 3-phase service cuts that down to 57-62 amps on an 80-amp breaker. This is a commercial-scale electrical installation that should be planned with your electrician and, ideally, your building's electrical contractor before the kiln arrives. Direct-wired connection is required; there is no standard plug.
Should I choose 1-phase or 3-phase for a kiln this size?
If your facility already has 3-phase service, it's almost always the better choice for the FL24E — it draws roughly 40% less amperage than 1-phase and uses a smaller breaker. If you only have residential-style 1-phase service available, the FL24E can still run on it, but expect a significant electrical upgrade project. Confirm what's available and get a quote from your electrician before ordering.
How much clearance and floor support does this kiln need?
At roughly 1,665 lbs shipping weight and 58″ W × 56″ D × 70″ H with its stand, the FL24E needs a level, non-combustible floor rated for concentrated load, plus clearance on all sides per Olympic's installation manual for both the door swing and ventilation. We strongly recommend confirming floor loading with your contractor before delivery, especially on upper floors.
Is this kiln appropriate for a school or shared studio?
Yes — the FL24E is a popular choice for university ceramics programs and large community studios because of its capacity and front-loading access. We strongly recommend the Power Interrupt Safety System and Genesis touchscreen controller for any shared or teaching environment to protect students and staff.
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.
