I have never used an Olympic gas kiln, but I live in a restrictive
residential neighborhood and fire ^11 gas reduction. We got a used Laser
propane gas kiln. We hooked it up to the existing underground gas tank for
the house. I am firing it now to ^10-11. It is about the size of a
refridgerator. There are pictures on my website, www.jonespottery.net , on
the archive page. I love this kiln.
The one problem..........it is from London, England. I do not know of a
distributor here in the US. If interested their website is
(http://www.laser-kilns.co.uk/main.html ) ,but it isn't very detailed.
My opoint to all this is that you could get a kinl that size, hook it up
easily, and fire away!

Good luck, Chris
