Stackable Top-Loading Electric Kiln — Cone 8, Bartlett KilnStar Controller
Model
1823E
Max Temp
Cone 8 · 2300°F
Capacity
3.29 cu ft
Power
6,300 W
The 1823E is a deep stackable 240/208-volt top-loading electric kiln for studio ceramics and everyday production. Its 22.5″-deep chamber gives you 3.29 cu ft — noticeably more room for taller ware and bigger loads than the 18″-deep 1818E — with 2½″ firebrick rated to a full cone 8.
Stackable models use the Olympic-proven electrical box design — heat shields with top and bottom perforations keep the electrical components cool — and balanced heating elements deliver even heat throughout the chamber under all firing conditions. The sectional build means the kiln comes apart for moving through narrow doorways and for single-section access during maintenance.
Included with every order
Pilot light, metal stand, stainless steel jacket, Bartlett KilnStar digital controller, full operator manual, and a 2-year limited kiln warranty through Olympic.
A note on power: this model needs a 40-amp circuit with a NEMA 6-50 receptacle — a step up from the 30-amp service the smaller stackables use. Worth confirming with an electrician before you order.
Options include the Genesis touchscreen controller, lid lift assist, 2- or 3-zone control, Type S thermocouple, 480V wiring, a vent, and castors. Give us a call and we'll help you spec the right configuration for your studio.
