Paragon CT122822 Janus Ceramic and Glass Kiln
The Paragon CT122822 Janus is a large-capacity dual-mode kiln engineered for studios that need to fire both ceramics and glass with a single versatile unit. Its 28" interior diameter and 22" depth deliver a generous 8.11 cubic feet of usable firing space — enough for ambitious pottery loads or expansive glass projects.
The Janus design lets you toggle between glass and pottery modes with ease: simply flip the switch to optimize firing characteristics for your medium. Sectional construction with twist-lock latches makes stacking effortless, and the LiteLid spring-assisted lid system reduces strain when loading heavy shelves. A reversible firebrick floor and large tapered peepholes round out a kiln built for serious, high-volume use.
Included with every order
Sentinel SmartTouch controller with cone-fire and ramp-hold programs, solid-state relays (SSR), vent-ready AOP base, and Paragon's 2-year warranty. Optional furniture kit (six 26" round shelves, assorted square posts, and kiln wash) and VentMaster kiln vent available at checkout.
Key Features
Janus Dual-Mode Design — Toggle between glass and pottery firing modes with a single switch for true multi-discipline versatility
3" Firebrick Walls — Heavy-duty insulation for exceptional heat retention, energy efficiency, and long element life
Sentinel SmartTouch Controller — Full-featured digital controller with cone-fire programs, ramp-hold scheduling, firing cost calculator, and diagnostics
Solid-State Relays (SSR) — Silent, maintenance-free switching for precise temperature control and longer element life versus mechanical relays
Sectional Construction with Twist-Lock Latches — Stack and reconfigure sections easily; latches hold rings firmly in place during firing
Patented LiteLid Spring System — Counter-balanced spring lid mechanism reduces physical effort when loading and unloading the kiln
Vent-Ready AOP Base — Pre-drilled and configured for easy installation of the optional Downdraft VentMaster system
Large Tapered Peepholes — Oversized ports provide a wide viewing angle for monitoring witness cones and checking the load mid-firing
Reversible Firebrick Floor — Extend floor life by flipping to an unworn surface; no special tools required
Drop-Down Hinged Switch Box — Electrical components swing down for easy access during maintenance and wiring inspection
