Create Reduction and Raku Effects Easily with the 28x27 Olympic Gas Kiln 

When you’re firing multiple layers of work—or need a bit more room—the Olympic 2827G Torchbearer gas kiln gives you reliable high-fire performance without a fixed line install. It’s a solid choice for potters who want the freedom to fire outdoors or in a vented studio, with fast ramp times and consistent Cone 10 results.

The 10 cubic foot chamber (28¼" wide x 27" deep) gives you enough room to fire multiple layers of work—think platters and bowls on the bottom, pitchers and teapots up top.

It’s an ideal size for production potters, educators, or artists working on larger forms. Whether you’re firing in oxidation, chasing copper reds in reduction, or doing fast pull raku cycles, this kiln handles it all with control and consistency.

Four venturi burners push 280,000 BTUs for even heating, and the built-in ignition system lights all burners from one point, automatically relighting any that go out.

It runs on either propane or natural gas and uses about 12 gallons of LP for a Cone 10 firing. You'll need at least a 15-gallon propane tank to maintain pressure through the cycle.

Key Features of the Olympic 2331G Gas-Fired Kiln

  • Great for studios, teaching spaces, and outdoor kiln setups
  • Fires to Cone 10 (2350°F) for high-fire clay and glazes
  • 28¼" x 27" chamber with 10 cubic feet of firing space
  • Fires with propane or natural gas—choose what fits your setup
  • 3" firebrick for excellent heat retention and insulation
  • Built-in ignition system lights all burners and keeps them lit
  • Four venturi burners provide powerful, even heating
  • Modular design allows rings to be added or removed
  • Comes with welded burner stand, peephole plugs, and porthole 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. ✨
