Stackable Top-Loading Electric Kiln — 3″ Brick, Cone 10
Model
1818HE
Max Temp
Cone 10 · 2350°F
Capacity
2.63 cu ft
Power
5,040 W
The 1818HE is the high-fire version of the 1818 — same 2.63 cu ft chamber, but built with 3″ firebrick instead of 2½″, which takes it all the way to cone 10 for stoneware and porcelain. The thicker walls also hold heat better, which means more efficient firings and longer element life.
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 element replacement or brick repair.
Included with every order
Pilot light, metal stand, stainless steel jacket, Bartlett KilnStar digital controller, full operator manual, and a 1-year limited kiln warranty through Olympic (standard on cone 10 models).
Options include the Genesis touchscreen controller, lid lift assist, 2- or 3-zone control, Type S thermocouple, solid-state relays, 480V wiring, an automatic vent, and castors. Give us a call and we'll help you spec the right configuration for your studio.
