Stackable Top-Loading Electric Kiln — 3″ Brick, Cone 10
Model
1823HE
Max Temp
Cone 10 · 2350°F
Capacity
3.29 cu ft
Power
6,300 W
The 1823HE pairs the deep 3.29 cu ft chamber of the 1823 with 3″ firebrick — taking it to a full cone 10 for stoneware and porcelain. It's one of the most practical high-fire studio kilns in the line: real production capacity, thick walls for efficient firings and long element life, and a sectional build that still fits through a doorway.
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 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).
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.
