Paragon CT122822 Viking Ceramic and Pottery Kiln
The Paragon CT122822 Viking is a heavy-duty studio kiln engineered for high-demand ceramic environments that require wide-chamber capacity and unwavering cone-10 performance. Its 28" interior diameter × 22" depth (8.11 cu ft) delivers generous space for large platters and full batch loads while remaining shallow enough for easy, comfortable loading.
Built to last, the Viking edition emphasizes reinforced construction throughout: 3" firebrick walls, solid-state relays, sectional twist-lock latches, and the patented LiteLid spring system that keeps the massive lid light and stable. A drop-down hinged switch box, reversible firebrick floor, and vent-ready AOP base round out a kiln trusted by production studios, large classrooms, and ceramic departments that fire daily.
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
3" Firebrick Walls — Heavy-duty insulation throughout for outstanding heat retention, energy efficiency, and long element life
Sentinel SmartTouch Controller — Full-color touchscreen with cone-fire and ramp-hold programs, firing logs, diagnostics, scheduling, and cost calculation
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 separate rings easily for maintenance, transport, or brick repair without special tools
Patented LiteLid Spring System — Counter-balanced spring mechanism makes the heavy 3" lid light and stable for safe one-handed lifting
Vent-Ready AOP Base — Pre-drilled with an Auxiliary Outlet Plug for plug-and-play installation of the optional VentMaster kiln vent
Recessed Element Grooves (No Pins) — Elements sit in protected grooves, reducing accidental breakage and simplifying replacement
Large Tapered Peepholes — Wide viewing ports let you monitor witness cones and check your load during any stage of the firing
Drop-Down Hinged Switch Box — Electrical panel swings down for easy front-access servicing and wiring inspection
Reversible Firebrick Floor — Flip the floor brick to extend service life without purchasing a replacement
