Paragon CT122829 Ceramic and Pottery Kiln
The Paragon CT122829 is the deepest model in the CT Series, delivering exceptional volume and dependable cone-10 performance for studios and classrooms that demand maximum firing capacity. With a 28" interior diameter × 29" depth (10.57 cu ft), it's the ideal choice for tall sculptural work, stacked production loads, and large batch firing in educational or commercial settings.
Three-inch firebrick throughout, solid-state relays, and a vent-ready AOP base set the foundation for a kiln built to fire hard and fire often. The LiteLid spring system manages the massive lid with ease, while sectional twist-lock latches let you separate rings for maintenance or transport. Recessed element grooves, a drop-down hinged switch box, and a reversible firebrick floor all contribute to long-term durability in heavy-production environments.
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 (eight 26" round shelves, assorted square posts, and kiln wash) and VentMaster kiln vent available at checkout.
