Downdraft Gas Kilns

The floors are built with double insulated floors consisting of brick and ceramic fiberboard. Stainless steel covers the exterior walls for durability.

This additional strength and insulation created by the thick walls and floors enable Olympic DownDrafts to fire at high temperatures and to maintain temperatures without damage or deterioration. The roofs of the DownDraft gas kilns are designed with bolt-in pyro-block modules for energy efficiency and easy repairs. The exhaust and intake are located at the bottom of the kiln and require a stack or chimney to induce enough draft to pull as much fresh air as needed for combustion.

Olympic DownDraft gas kilns are built with high efficiency venturi burners located underneath the kiln chamber and have the option of placing the burners on the side of the kiln chamber when the kiln is under construction. An alternative to the venturi burners are forced air burners. All DownDraft models fire to cone 10, 2350° F.

Custom DownDrafts and Car DownDrafts are available upon request.
