Paragon Ceramics Kiln CT81722 TnF82-3Note: 3 phase versions do not include a cord. Kiln will need to be hard-wired by your electrician. The digital automatic CT81722 (TnF-82-3) Paragon kiln is large enough for most ceramic projects. Figured at cost per cubic foot, it is among our lowest priced hobby kilns. It uses the same circuit size as most of our studio kilns. Upgrade to a larger kiln later without having to install a new circuit.This kiln now features the easy-access drop down switch box. Remove two screws, and the box, hinged at the bottom, opens forward for easy maintenance. The kiln features a top row of 2” high blank wall bricks. Since the brick is without element grooves, it is less susceptible to damage during loading than a grooved brick.The TnF-82-3 is made of 3” thick firebrick in the lid, walls and bottom. It is designed for porcelain, stoneware, low-fire ceramics, china paint, decals and gold.Features of the TnF-82-3 Digital Automatic KilnSentinel TouchLong-life electrical system with high temperature wireLock-in lid support with a positive catch2 wide-view tapered peepholesVentilated, louvered switch box2 hand liftsFull-formed, galvanized steel base covers the entire brick bottomFall-away two stage Prop-R-Vent for venting the wareCoated lid, peepholes and rim of firebricks for extended firebrick lifeOperating instructions on switch boxHeavy gauge stainless steel caseFull firing capacity: fire ware directly on the brick bottomReversible brick bottomDropped, recessed brick grooves help prevent element bulging; eliminate the need for element pins; make changing the element easier and faster than some competing models that require element pins.The Optional Furniture KitThe furniture kit consists of carefully selected fireclay shelves and posts for this particular model.
