Elmoclayman Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 I have been using an updraft kiln (Gas) for over 20 years. I will be moving to a new classroom and I get to pick a new kiln!!! ( I know exciting stuff!) They want me to go with Olympic Kilns and as I look at them, I only see gas downdraft kilns. Is there a big difference in firing a downdraft kiln vs. an updraft kiln? Are there any pros or cons? I usually fire to Cone 10 Reduction. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Downdraft kilns are generally easier to fire, fire more evenly, and are more efficient. Elmoclayman and Rae Reich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
