The Paragon Janus Ovation can fire both pottery and glass. Heating elements are mounted in the top and sidewalls.
Select between glass and pottery with the
flip of a switch. With the switch in the glass position, heat comes
from the top elements and the middle sidewall element. With the switch
in the pottery position, heat comes from only the sidewall elements.
In the glass mode, fuse and sag large glass
projects placed on a single shelf. In the pottery mode, fire to cone
10. You can also fire several shelves of smaller glass pieces in
pottery mode.
If you have been firing a smaller kiln, you
will be amazed at the space inside the Janus Ovation. Fire large
projects such as bowls or platters in one load. Imagine how many clay
or glass pendants you could fire in the Janus Ovation. As you can see,
firing production loads can quickly pay for this oval kiln.
Patented dual
spring-assisted lid supports transfer the weight of the lid to a
massive hinge assembly on the back of the kiln. This reduces the stress
on the kiln wall to give your kiln the long life that Paragon kilns are
famous for.
The
elements in the lid are mounted in a firebrick ball groove that
eliminates element pins. The element coils are wider than the groove
opening, so the elements stay in place without pins. The groove
dissipates heat efficiently. The lid element grooves and inner lid
surface are coated for long life.
The
patented control box on the Janus Ovation opens forward for easy
maintenance. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position.
The
digital Sentry 2.0 includes two modes: Cone-Fire with programmed slow
cooling and 18-Segment Ramp-Hold. It is manufactured by the Orton
Ceramic Foundation exclusively for Paragon.

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.
