Paragon Dragon Kiln: Base Model, No Stand

Paragon Dragon Kiln
Paragon Dragon Kiln is suitable for Crystalline Glazes, Decals, Fast Firings, Glass Casting, Low-Fire Ceramics, Porcelain, and Stoneware

The Paragon Dragon Kiln is an industrial furnace designed for pottery and ceramic studios. And considering its features, it is surprisingly affordable.

This Paragon pottery kiln exudes power. Its 16,500 watts heat the 24” wide, 24” deep, 27” high interior to cone 10 with ample power to spare. Dropped, recessed grooves seat industrial-gauge elements.

Extra insulation saves energy and lengthens cooling. The 4” thick walls, top and door are made of 3” firebrick backed by 1” of ceramic fiber block insulation. The floor is 4 ½” thick firebrick. The extra insulation not only saves energy but also cools slowly. This gives the micro-crystalline structure and color of the glaze sufficient time for full development.

Long-lasting mercury relays power the elements. A bank of built-in NEC/UL compliant high-amperage fuses protects the paragon pottery kiln and circuit wiring. Potters who struggle with top-loading kilns will enjoy the Paragon Dragon Kiln. The door swings open wide on a heavy ¾” steel rod with sealed bearings. Two spring-loaded latches press the door tightly closed.

Doorway Clearance

The Dragon will fit through a 34” doorway if the handles and back element cover are temporarily removed.

The Optional Furniture Kit (not included)

The furniture kit consists of carefully selected fireclay shelves and posts for this particular model. When estimating the price of the kiln, include the cost of furniture. The furniture allows you to stack multiple layers of ware. Without it, you could fire only the ware that would fit on the kiln bottom.

Optional Door Elements

Elements in the door improve heat distribution. Adding door elements to the Dragon does not change the overall amperage. The wall elements receive less amperage than the wall elements of a standard Dragon.
