Studio Front-Loading Electric Kiln — Cone 8, Bartlett KilnStar Controller
Model
1823FLE
Max Temp
Cone 8 · 2300°F
Capacity
2.44 cu ft
Controller
KilnStar
The 1823FLE is the largest front loader in the studio line — a 240/208-volt kiln for ceramics, annealing, glass, PMC, and enameling. Its deeper 22.5″ chamber takes bigger front-load projects than the 1818FLE, and the front door means loading tall pieces and sculpture without reaching over a hot lid.
It comes equipped with a pilot light, attached stand, stainless steel jacket, and the Bartlett KilnStar digital controller for cone-fire and ramp-hold programming. Upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen for delay start, preheat, cone offset, skip-step, and firing-profile review on screen.
Included with every order
Pilot light, attached stand, stainless steel jacket, Bartlett KilnStar digital controller, full operator manual, and a 2-year limited warranty through Olympic.
Options include the Genesis touchscreen controller, a bead door, quartz viewing window, Type S thermocouple, castors, and a vent. Front-loading furniture kits add 2–3 shelf layers, assorted posts, and kiln wash. Give us a call and we'll help you spec it out.
