TypicalGirl Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm considering purchasing a used Olsen 12cf downdraft kiln. I think its about 10 years old. I've been saving for a new one, but then came across this one. It seems to be in fine condition. I have 2 questions... #1 - its currently configured to burn natural gas. Will it be difficult to find and change the orifices to convert it to propane? Its been disassembled and boxed up. I see on the Olsen website that their kits come with air set mortar. Will I need mortar to reassemble it? Are there any other questions I should ask the seller or any other considerations I should know about? Thanks!

Marcia Selsor Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I would contact Olsen and ask for a conversion kit for the burners. It is a matter of changing the orifice size. As for the mortar, ask them when you talk to them. I would assume yes. You may have to do some scraping where the old mortar was. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Thanks Marcia. I did call and talk to Mr Olsen. I think my hubby has pretty much convinced me to invest in a new kiln rather than a used one. He points out it will likely be the only kiln I'll ever actually buy, so why not go new. Hard to argue with a man encouraging his wife to spend money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
