Gas Kiln Not Exceding 1500F

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased an 18" gas olympic raku kiln. I understand gas kilns are a complete different animal vs electric but have always liked the control over reduction glazing and convenience for raku ofcourse. I have fiddled with it for a month now and although some improvement i still cant manage to get over 1800f. I would appreciate all feedback and input. Btw i have absolutely no experience on gas kilns.

It should definitely go hotter than 1800F. Lots of possible problems, but we'll need some more information first. Are you using natural gas or propane? If propane, do you have the correct regulator on the tank? Is the tank freezing up? How are you setting the gas pressure- full on, half, 10%, etc.? How are you setting the air on the burners- open a dime, 1/4 inch, etc.?
