The Dragon is an industrial furnace designed for pottery
and ceramic studios. And considering its features, it is surprisingly
affordable. Potters who struggle with top-loading kilns will enjoy the
Dragon. The door swings open wide on a heavy "" steel rod with sealed
bearings. Two spring-loaded latches press the door tightly closed.
The Dragon exudes power. Its 16,500 watts heat the 24" wide, 24" deep,
27" high interior to cone 10 with ample power to spare. This results in
long element life, because the elements do not "struggle" to reach high
temperatures. Dropped, recessed grooves seat industrial-gauge elements
for long life.
The elements are "tuned," which means hotter elements are placed in
areas of the firing chamber that need more heat. This results in
superior heat distribution.
Do you ever wonder how much electricity your kiln uses" The digital
controller will figure this for you; merely program the kiln"s wattage
and your cost of electricity into the controller. Learn to conserve
energy by experimenting with firing speed, load density, etc.
Extra insulation saves energy and lengthens cooling. The 4" thick walls,
top, and door are made of 3" firebrick backed by 1" of ceramic fiber
block insulation. The floor is 4 "" thick firebrick. The inner door is
recessed to help seal in the heat. Because these kilns store heat so
efficiently, elements last longer.
The extra insulation not only saves energy but also cools the kiln
slowly without having to turn the elements back on. This gives the
micro-crystalline structure and color of the glaze sufficient time for
full development. Cool slowly to achieve dramatic shifts in glaze color
such as iron reds and enjoy the richer look of gas firing. Create
breathtaking pottery in this exciting kiln.
The Sentry 2.0 digital controller is standard on Paragon front-loading
pottery kilns. Results are repeatable from one firing to the next with
astounding accuracy. The solid-state controller continually monitors the
firing. This is almost like hiring an assistant.
The Type-K thermocouple, hermetically sealed for accuracy, is standard.
We also recommend the optional Type-S for stoneware and porcelain.
Long-lasting mercury relays power the elements. A bank of built-in
NEC/UL compliant high-amperage fuses protects the kiln and circuit
wiring.
The ventilated switch box is generously louvered for air circulation for
the long life of the electrical components. Yet dust is kept to a
minimum.
The 24" tall stand is also available with casters for easy moving. The
stand is priced separately from the Dragon. Please scroll down to
Options below for other stands available for the Dragon.
When ordering a Dragon, specify whether the stand is to ship separate
from the Dragon or pre-installed and shipped as one unit.
Doorway Clearance
The Dragon will fit through a 34" doorway if the handles and back
element cover are temporarily removed.
