Paragon CT71313 Ceramic and Pottery Kiln
The Paragon CT71313 is a compact 7-sided ceramic kiln purpose-built for cone-6 pottery, small sculpture, and educational studio use. Its 13.5" wide × 13.25" deep interior offers 1.22 cubic feet of firing space in a space-efficient footprint — ideal for apartment studios, classrooms, or anywhere floor space is at a premium.
Paragon's signature 7-sided design places elements closer to the ware for more even heat distribution than standard round kilns. Recessed element grooves (no pins) protect elements and simplify replacement, while built-in side hand lifts make moving the kiln straightforward. The galvanized steel base and fully coated lid, peepholes, and rim resist the wear of daily studio life.
Included with every order
Sentinel SmartTouch controller with cone-fire and ramp-hold programs, solid-state relays (SSR), lock-in lid support, and Paragon's 2-year warranty. Optional furniture kit (two C-14 shelves, one C-14H half shelf, assorted square posts, and kiln wash) and Downdraft VentMaster vent system available.
Key Features
7-Sided Interior — Unique polygon design brings elements closer to the ware for more uniform heat distribution compared to standard round kilns
3" Firebrick Walls — Heavy-duty insulation for excellent heat retention and energy-efficient firing
Sentinel SmartTouch Controller — Full-featured digital controller with cone-fire programs, ramp-hold scheduling, firing cost calculator, sealed keypad, and diagnostics
Solid-State Relays (SSR) — Silent, maintenance-free switching for precise temperature control and longer element life versus mechanical relays
Recessed Element Grooves (No Pins) — Elements sit in protected grooves rather than on exposed pins, reducing accidental breakage and simplifying replacement
Lock-In Lid Support — Keeps the lid safely propped open during loading without risk of accidental closure
Two Wide Tapered Peepholes — Oversize viewing ports allow easy monitoring of witness cones and load conditions during firing
Built-In Side Hand Lifts — Integrated handles make it easier to reposition or move the kiln without additional equipment
Reversible Brick Bottom — Flip the floor brick to extend its service life and avoid purchasing a replacement
Fully Coated Lid, Peepholes & Rim — Protective coating prevents spalling and keeps brick dust out of the firing chamber
Galvanized Steel Base — Corrosion-resistant base stands up to the humidity and spills common in active studio environments
