Reply To: Clamshell or TopLoad Kiln

[Candace0523]

I have the Olympic square 189GFETLC – which can be opened from the top or clamshell. It’s 18x18x9. When I bought it I thought “I’ll never need a bigger kiln” – now on almost a daily basis I find myself wishing I had a bigger kiln! Not so much to fire a piece bigger than 18” – but to get more in at once! I load from the top and via the clamshell equally. I’d tell you to get as big of a kiln as your space (and wallet) can take.

I have a Bartlett 1000 controller with a separate lid controller – I set it to high and have never had to watch it.

Good luck!!
