Reliable Electric Ceramic Kiln for the Studio
The Olympic CHAMP XL is an easy, affordable way to start firing at home — a compact, plug-and-play kiln sized for hobbyists, beginners, and small studio work.
It fires up to 1700°F, which covers low-fire bisque and glaze work — a great fit for testing, small projects, and getting started without a big investment.
The CHAMP XL runs on 120V at 15 amps. Total draw is 1,800 watts; use a dedicated circuit with the required 20A breaker and confirm your outlet and wiring before ordering.
Olympic Kilns has been building electric, gas, and glass firing kilns in Flowery Branch, Georgia for over 50 years. Their kilns are used by hobbyists, production studios, schools, and industrial users throughout the US.
Included with every order
Pilot light, metal stand, stainless steel jacket, Bartlett KilnStar digital controller, peephole plugs, full operator manual, a 2 year limited warranty through Olympic, and free freight shipping to the US Lower 48.
You'll pick your digital controller at checkout. Olympic kilns ship standard with the Bartlett KilnStar digital controller — reliable cone-fire and ramp-hold programming via up/down keys. Most studios upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller for more ramp-hold programs, custom firing profiles, delay start, preheat, skip-step, and a built-in cone table. Not sure which one fits your workflow? That's exactly the kind of thing we help with.
