Paragon SnF-82-3
The SnF-82-3 non-digital automatic 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 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 SnF-82-3 is made of 3” thick firebrick in
the lid and walls and 2 1/2” brick in the bottom. It can fire low-fire
ceramics, china paint, decals, gold, porcelain, and stoneware.
A heavy galvanized steel base covers the
reversible brick bottom completely. It folds up under the stainless
case on all sides to strengthen the firing chamber. This is one more
assurance that your Paragon kiln is built to last.
The heat of the kiln is magical and offers
wonderful surprises. Ceramic glazes undergo a complete transformation
in the kiln. Opening a kiln to view your treasures is a festive moment
that you will never outgrow. Artists have said, “Woohooo! Opening a
kiln is a celebration!”

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.
