Gene,
I have run the Olympic gas updrafts I have for over 25 years. No problems
with them or the company.

I have the opportunity to purchase a used Olympic gas kiln. Model DD-14, 14
cubic foot down draft, 2 years old fired very little to cone 6. No
electronic controls or kiln sitter. Furniture is included, for 2800.00. I am
not familiar with this brand. Is this a good deal?? Does this kiln fire
well? Does anyone have experience with these kilns?? All help will be much
appreciated!!!

Dear Arnold,

Long story which I have already told, but I detest Olympic kilns and detest
the
company even more intensely. Just my own personal experience and feelings.
I
could have bought a good kiln with the money I wasted on firing mine.
