The Paragon CT61109 is a compact, precision-oriented kiln designed for small-scale ceramic work where accuracy and efficiency matter. With an 11" interior diameter and 9" depth (0.56 cu ft), it is suited for porcelain pieces, china painting, metal clay, jewelry projects, and test tiles. Its portable 3size, fast firing capability, and ability to run on a standard 120V circuit with a 30-amp breaker make it an excellent choice for home studios, classrooms, and professional environments needing reliable small-batch results.
This model includes solid-state relays (SSR) for quiet, long-lasting performance and features exceptionally heavy insulation: 2½" firebrick backed by an additional 2" of block insulation, a 3" thick lid, and a 4½" thick floor. The coated lid and rim protect the firebrick during loading, while the full-formed galvanized steel base adds strength and stability. A lock-in lid support provides safe access during inspection or test firings. Designed as a dependable small kiln, it is a tool artists continue using even after adding a larger kiln—perfect for solving glaze issues, refining designs, or running test batches before committing to full-size loads.
Controller
The CT61109 includes the Sentinel TouchXpress Controller, offering touchscreen operation with cone-fire and ramp-hold programming, firing logs, and built-in diagnostics suited for detailed, precision-based work.
Optional Add-Ons
Furniture Kit: A compatible furniture kit is available separately to support test firing and small project needs.
Kiln Stand: A heat-resistant surface will work, but you can always consider a 6" stall static stand, or an 18" tall rolling stand with locking casters.
