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/150A or 208V/173A single phase on a 200-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 FL36E Large Capacity Kiln Model FL36E · 240V or 208V · 38" W x 38" D x 45" H · 36 Cu. Ft. · Fires to Cone 10 / 2350°F The FL36E is Olympic's largest front-loading production kiln, delivering 36 cubic feet of firing capacity for schools, studios, and small production potteries. With a spacious 38" x 38" x 45" chamber, this workhorse kiln handles everything from classroom glazing schedules to commercial production runs. Built with a welded heavy angle iron frame, stainless steel jacket, and dedicated breaker box, it's engineered for years of reliable high-fire service.

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, delay start, preheat, cone offset, and skip step features for precise firings every time. Includes a cone table for easy temperature and cone number reference and the ability to review firing profiles before or during the firing.
Welded heavy angle iron frameIndustrial-grade welded frame construction provides structural integrity for years of production use. This heavy-duty frame prevents warping and ensures consistent firing performance even with daily operation.
Stainless steel jacketDurable stainless steel exterior resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance in studio or classroom environments. The robust jacket also provides excellent insulation efficiency and heat retention.
Pilot lightIlluminated indicator lets you know at a glance when the kiln is powered on and actively firing. Essential safety feature for busy production environments and shared studio spaces.
Dedicated breaker boxBuilt-in breaker box provides easy access for electrical service, enhanced safety features, and lockout capability. Simplifies installation and ensures safe operation in compliance with electrical codes.
Front-loading swing doorStandard front-loading design with a swing-open door allows shelving to load directly into the chamber for efficient workflow. Easier loading and unloading compared to top-loading kilns of this size.

Common questions
Do I need an electrician to install this kiln?Yes, absolutely. The FL36E requires a dedicated 240V or 208V circuit (it draws 150 amps at 240V or 173 amps at 208V on a 200-amp breaker) and must be installed by a licensed electrician in compliance with local electrical codes. This is not a plug-in kiln—professional hardwired installation is required for safe operation and to maintain your warranty.
What comes in the furniture kit for this kiln?The Large Capacity furniture kit provides 4 complete layers of shelving sized for the 38" x 38" chamber, assorted posts for stacking configurations, and a 5 lb bag of kiln wash. You can also build a custom furniture package with the exact shelf and post quantities you need for your specific production workflow.
How much production work can this kiln handle?With 36 cubic feet of capacity, the FL36E is built for serious production work—schools running multiple firings per week, small production potteries, or busy community studios. The heavy-duty construction, stainless steel jacket, and industrial frame are designed to withstand daily use over many years of service.
Should I add a solid state relay?For a production kiln of this size, yes—we strongly recommend it. Solid state relays provide tighter temperature control for more consistent results, extend element life through smoother power cycling, reduce your electric bill, and last the lifetime of the kiln with no moving parts to replace. It's the best investment you can make in long-term reliability.
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.
Not sure if the FL36E is right for your production needs? We’re authorized Olympic Kilns dealers based in Atlanta. Call, email, or chat — we’ll give you a straight answer about electrical requirements, sizing, and accessories before you spend a dollar.
