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.
