Stackable Top-Loading Electric Kiln — Cone 8, Bartlett KilnStar Controller
The 1818E is a stackable 240/208-volt top-loading electric kiln built for studio ceramics, glaze firing, and steady production work. Its 2.63 cu ft chamber handles a solid load of pottery, and the 2½″ firebrick construction takes it 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 also 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.
Options include the Genesis touchscreen controller, lid lift assist, 2- or 3-zone control, Type S thermocouple, solid-state relays, 480V wiring, a vent, and castors. Give us a call and we'll help you spec the right configuration for your studio.
