  • Check the crate before you sign. Note any damage on the receipt and send us photos.

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 · HotBox Series · 120V Olympic Kilns HB84E Electric Kiln HB84E · 120V · 8″ W × 8″ D × 4.5″ H · 0.17 cu ft · Cone 10 / 2350°F The HB84E is Olympic's smallest HotBox kiln — a genuinely portable test kiln that still reaches Cone 10, plugging into any standard 120V/20A outlet. It's built for jewelers, testing glazes and clay bodies in small batches, PMC (precious metal clay) work, and enamel firing, and it ships with the Bartlett Spark touchscreen controller standard.
Max TemperatureCone 10 / 2350°F
Firing Chamber8″ W × 8″ D × 4.5″ H / 0.17 cu ft
Voltage120V single-phase
Breaker Required20 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 Spark touchscreen controller and Type K thermocoupleOlympic prices the HB64E, HB84E and HotBox E on the Spark row only, with no KilnStar or Genesis option, so the Spark mini touchscreen is what ships on this model. It arrives installed and wired with one Type K thermocouple and a pilot indicator light.
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.
A fitted cord and plug, 120VIt runs from an ordinary 120V circuit on a cord and plug fitted at the factory. Olympic's plug configuration row gives NEMA 5-15, 5-20 or L5-30 depending on the model's amperage, so we confirm the exact receptacle with you before the order goes in.
Not included: collars, furniture and accessoriesThe blank collar and the bead collar are paid options and both drop the kiln's maximum temperature to 2000°F, so order them knowing that. No kiln furniture ships with it, and stilts, gloves, kiln wash and a pyrometer are separate items.

Common questions
Do I need an electrician to install this kiln?
Yes. The HB84E requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit (15 amps) with a NEMA 5-15 receptacle, installed by a licensed electrician according to local electrical codes. Installation by anyone other than a qualified electrician may void your warranty and create serious safety hazards.
What is this kiln typically used for?
The HB84E's small chamber and 120V power make it popular for jewelers and metalsmiths firing PMC (precious metal clay), enamelists, and potters who want to run small glaze and clay body tests without firing a full-size kiln load.
Can it really reach Cone 10 on standard household power?
Yes — despite its 120V/15A draw, the compact 0.17 cu ft chamber and efficient insulation let the HB84E reach Cone 10 (2350°F). Small chambers heat and hold temperature more efficiently per watt than large ones.
Does this kiln come with shelves and posts?
No. Kiln furniture is sold separately because different users have different needs based on the work they're firing. We recommend ordering a furniture kit sized for the 8″ × 8″ chamber when you purchase the kiln.
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. Peach State Pottery can assist with registration if needed.
