Get a lift out of Olympic's newest kiln for both ceramics and glass. The new TopHat series is designed with an elevating firing chamber for easy loading and unloading of ware by lifting and closing the firing chamber with a hand crank. The 12 inches of clearance provided when the chamber is lifted allows accessibility from all sides of the kiln. The unique design of the kiln retains the heat within the firing chamber even when it is opened. Every model comes equipped with lid element and body elements and fires to 2350°F. The RTC-1000 controller is the standard controller on the models with six user programs containing 8 segments per program for ramp/hold and cone fire programming. Models are available in 18", 23" and 28" widths and 9" and 13.5" depths.
