Sheffield Pottery's Own Paragon "Tall Iguana"
Our variation on the classic Iguana potter's kiln is 7 inches taller inside and powered with reliable extra heavy-duty Kanthal A-1 elements. This results in long element life, because the
elements do not “struggle” to reach high temperatures. 10,500 watts
heat the 18” wide, 18” deep, 27” high interior to a full cone 10. 208 volt, three phase, 29 amps per line, Direct wire.
Also available in 240 or 480 volts and single phase.
Mounted in 20" open metal framed stand.
3" Insulating firebrick plus 1" backup board.
4.5" Insulating firebrick floor.
Industrial-gauge Kanthal A1 elements are seated and
protected in dropped, recessed firebrick grooves. The elements are easy to replace, because you can comfortably reach into the Paragon Iguana Kiln.
Potters and ceramists who struggle with top-loading potter’s kilns will enjoy the Paragon Iguana Kiln. The detachable door swings open wide on a
heavy ½” 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. This potter’s kiln is unsurpassed in reliability for a controller in its price range. Orton cone tables preprogrammed. Storage
for one 20-segment and three 10-segment programs. Programmable
auxiliary output, single zone. The Paragon Iguana Kiln 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 Inconel® sheath comes
