Product Overview
Paragon CT102329 10 Sided Kiln
The Paragon CT-102329 Kiln is a high-capacity electric ceramic kiln designed for potters, ceramic artists, and studios that require a deep firing chamber for tall pieces, sculptures, or stacked ware. With a generous 22.5" wide x 29" deep firing chamber, this front-loading kiln provides excellent access and space for larger ceramic projects. Capable of reaching temperatures up to 2350°F (1287°C), it's ideal for firing stoneware, earthenware, porcelain, and sculptural clay. The kiln is controlled by the advanced Sentry Digital Controller, allowing for programmable ramp rates, hold times, and precise cone firings to suit a wide range of ceramic techniques. Built for durability and efficiency, the CT-102329 offers reliable, even heat distribution and is perfect for both production pottery and fine art studios.
During busy seasons when orders are backlogged, you will be grateful you own a dependable Paragon kiln such as the CT102329. Studio owners call these kilns “real work horses.”
Paragon studio kilns have withstood years of abuse in school environments. High school ceramics teachers fire these kilns unmercifully, without remorse. Yet the kilns keep going. People swear by them.
This kiln features sectional construction. Separate the kiln bottom and sections to repair bricks, change elements, or to move the kiln down narrow stairwells or through the narrowest doorways. Twist-lock spring latches hold the assembled collars securely.
The top row of brick in the kiln is 2” high and without element grooves. It is less susceptible to damage during loading than a grooved brick.
Hinged at the bottom, the switch box on 8, 10 & 12-sided Paragon kilns opens forward for easy maintenance. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position.
This kiln comes in deluxe 3” thick sidewalls, lid, and bottom, and it's rated to 2350°F. As a comparison, our 3” brick is 20% thicker than the standard 2 ½” brick from other manufacturers.
The massive lid is easy to lift with Paragon's patented “LiteLid,” which does away with cumbersome pulleys and cords and reduces lid weight to only several pounds of pressure. Most people can lift the lid with one hand. Unlike pulleys and weights, the LiteLid is self-contained on the kiln. No need to drill holes in the ceiling for pulleys. The LiteLid sharply reduces wear between the lid and top rim of firebrick. The truss and floating lid allow expansion of the lid. Ask competitors if their lid spring includes a truss and floating lid.
