Optional fan assisted kiln vent is an extra which is fitted in minutes, enabling kiln fumes to be ducted up to 60 feet if necessary. Fireclay shelves and posts used inside the kiln are called furniture. With furniture, you can stack more ware in your kiln than you ever could place on the bottom of the kiln alone. ``Furniture Kits" are the shelves and posts we recommend for each model. They have been selected to accommodate a wide variety of work for your particular kiln. Shelves and posts are also sold separately. Shelves should be at least 2" smaller in diameter than the kiln interior. Shelves up to 15" wide may be fired to cone 10. Shelves wider than 15" may be fired to cone 8. Shelves may warp at sustained cone 10 temperature, therefore, we do not guarantee shelves against warpage.

The most popular serious hobby size, perfect for the more serious Pottery Party mobile studio wanting to fire pieces from more than one party at a time, or invaluable in the Contemporary Cafe as the overflow kiln for those extra or rushed items. Originating as the workhorse which is the backbone of the Hobby Ceramic Studio, this is Paragons world best selling kiln! The 17½" x 22¼" chamber gives a very useful 3.30 cu. foot capacity. More important than the volume, is the actual dimensions. This is the shelf size the vast majority of mould manufacturers design their items to fit into; table tops, Christmas trees, figurines, vases etc. wide enough to get small 8" plates side by side, yet comfortably taking those 14 or even 16" wide wedding plates and platters. The potter will find that this kiln will take big items, and with the Sentry 2 controller, (intensively developed by Paragon and the Orton Ceramic Foundation), anyone can fire them easiliy, economically and, with the choice of fast medium or slow firings, safely. The controller allows you to fire in the early morning hours to get advantageous white meter tariff rates, the stainless steel and brick lid means goodbye to sagging fibre and rust falling onto your glaze pieces. All Paragon kilns have elements deeply fitted in dropped, recessed brick grooves, pioneered by Paragon, to protect them from expensive glaze or kiln wash damage. The sheer craftsmanship of the close fitting brickwork joints just shouts quality when compared to other kilns. Fitted for the European market with lid operated microswitch to cut off the power when a live kiln is opened, . The kilns are digital-automatic. Enter a pyrometric cone number and speed to begin firing or develop your own firing profile with up to eight stages. You can use the delay fire feature to suit your firing schedule. The kiln displays the temperature throughout the firing and cooling. Vent in two stages with the fall-away Prop-R-Vent. The full-formed steel base strengthens the kiln and completely covers the reversible brick bottom, and the lock-in lid support was custom designed at Paragon. Each kiln comes with its own stand, complete with mar-proof plastic feet, a full furniture kit of shelves and shelf supports, and a detailed instruction and service manual. The front control box falls away on a hinge and strut system for ease of servicing.
