Oval Glass Fusing Kiln Built for Larger, Elongated Pieces
The Olympic 259GFE is built with an oval chamber for fusing and forming elongated glass pieces — large platters, long slumped pieces, and shapes that waste space in round kilns.
It fires up to 1700°F — Olympic glass kilns ship rated to 1700°F by default to protect the optional quartz viewing window, but can be reprogrammed to fire higher.
The 259GFE runs on 240/208V at 9 amps. Total draw is 96 watts.
Olympic Kilns has been building electric, gas, and glass firing kilns in Flowery Branch, Georgia for over 50 years. Their kilns are used by hobbyists, production studios, schools, and industrial users throughout the US.
Included with every order
Pilot light, tall 18" metal stand or frame, stainless steel jacket, Bartlett KilnStar digital controller, peephole plugs, full operator manual, a 2 year limited warranty through Olympic, and free freight shipping to the US Lower 48.
You'll pick your digital controller at checkout. Olympic kilns ship standard with the Bartlett KilnStar digital controller — reliable cone-fire and ramp-hold programming via up/down keys. Most studios upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller for more ramp-hold programs, custom firing profiles, delay start, preheat, skip-step, and a built-in cone table. Not sure which one fits your workflow? That's exactly the kind of thing we help with.
