Paragon Iguana Kiln : Front Loading... Cone 10 NOTE: Type S thermocouple upgrade option is highly recommended for persons doing above cone 4 stoneware and porcelain. Be sure to ask about Sheffield Pottery's Professional delivery and installation of your kiln...
The Iguana is powered with reliable extra
heavy-duty elements. This results in long element life, because the
elements do not struggle to reach high temperatures. 10,800 watts
heat the 18 wide, 18 deep, 22 ฝ high interior to a full cone 10.
Easy Installation
The 240 volt Iguana plugs into a standard 6-50R outlet, so you can fire it on the outlet most studio kilns already use.
Easy to Load
The Iguana is easy on the back muscles. With the optional 22 stand, the interior floor height is a comfortable 34 ฝ.
Industrial-gauge elements are seated and
protected in dropped, recessed firebrick grooves. The elements are easy
to replace, because you can comfortably reach into the kiln.
Potters and ceramists who struggle with
top-loading kilns will enjoy the Iguana. The door swings open wide on a
heavy ฝ steel rod with sealed bearings. A spring-loaded latch presses
the door tightly closed. A recessed firebrick lip around the door seals
in heat.
The Sentry digital controller is manufactured
by Orton Ceramic Foundation. It is unsurpassed in reliability for a
controller in its price range. It includes a programmed cool-down,
Cone-Fire and Ramp-Hold modes, and is capable of accepting types K, R,
or S thermocouples. A type-K thermocouple with an Inconelฎ sheath comes
standard.
For your peace of mind, the Iguana includes a switch that shuts off power to the controller when not in use.
Options
- 22 tall stand
- Casters for stand
- Door elements
- Stainless steel finish
- Orton Kiln Master Vent, which mounts to the back of the kiln. Mounting holes are drilled in every Iguana for easy installation.
