Description

Build Your Reduction Firing Practice with the 18x27 Olympic Gas Kiln 

Looking for gas kiln results without committing to a permanent install? The Olympic 1827G gives you all the flexibility of propane or natural gas firing—plus the ability to adjust for oxidation, reduction, and raku—all in a compact, portable build.

This kiln fires to Cone 10 with consistent heat, a smooth flame path, and safety features designed for peace of mind.

Its 3.95 cubic foot chamber (17½" x 27") offers enough room for small batch production—great for studios, teaching spaces, or anyone firing functional ware at home or outside.

Load up a shelf of espresso cups and batter bowls above a set of ramen bowls with matching chopstick rests, or fire lidded jars, mugs, and small sculptures across stacked shelves.

With two venturi burners delivering 120,000 BTU/hr, you’ll get fast, even heating that holds steady through any cycle.

The ignition system lights both burners from a single point and will re-ignite them if needed. A thermocouple shut-off stops gas flow automatically if the flame is lost.

The 1827G uses around 5 gallons of propane for a full Cone 10 firing—but Olympic recommends using a tank larger than 5 gallons to prevent freeze-up and ensure consistent pressure, especially in cooler weather.


Key Features of the Olympic 1827G Gas-Fired Kiln

  • Great for personal studios, outdoor setups, and teaching spaces
  • Fires to Cone 10 (2350°F) for high-fire clay and glazes
  • 17½" x 27" chamber with 3.95 cubic feet of firing capacity
  • Fires with propane or natural gas—choose what fits your setup
  • 2.5" firebrick insulation for efficient and even heat retention
  • Ignition system lights all burners and relights automatically
  • Two venturi burners deliver controlled, balanced heat
  • Modular design allows rings to be added or removed
  • Includes welded stand, peephole plugs, and top port brick
  • Thermocouple safety shut-off for added peace of mind

Optional Add-Ons for Olympic Gas Kilns

🔒 Electronic High Limit Controller
Automatically shuts off the kiln at your set temperature.
Protects your work and your kiln by preventing accidental overfires—especially helpful during long or overnight firings.

🌡️ Digital Pyrometer
Shows you the exact temperature inside the kiln at all times.
Gives you more control and confidence, especially during reduction or raku firings where timing is everything.

🛞 Rolling Stand with Locking Casters
Lets you move your kiln easily when cleaning, adjusting vents, or rearranging your workspace.
Great for tight studios or outdoor setups—just roll, lock, and fire.

🌬️ 23″ Vent Hood*
Pulls fumes and heat up and out of the space.
Keeps the air cleaner, protects your kiln’s metal parts, and helps with more even firings. *Required for indoor use.

⛽ Low-Pressure Regulator (Propane Only)
Delivers consistent gas flow from your propane tank.
Essential for safe, even firing—prevents flame-outs or underfiring due to low pressure.

🪵 Shelf/Furniture Kit
Includes shelves, posts, and kiln wash for stacking your work.
Absolutely necessary—you should never fire directly on the kiln floor. This kit gives you the safe, stable setup you need to get started right.

Who We Are

Modern Potters is women-owned and operated. We're all about hard work, continuous learning, and celebrating creativity in all forms. And like you, we LOVE pottery.

We're potters ourselves! We know the joy of a perfect glaze, the frustration of a s-cracked mug (😭), and the satisfaction of finally centering a large lump of clay.

So when you need advice, you're not getting a sales pitch. You're getting real talk from people who've been there. People like you. 

P.S. the cute pup's name is Kodah, he's the CPO (Chief-Pottery-Officer). He's the one who threw the bowl in the photo, if you can believe it. ✨
