Name: Paragon Iguana Digital Front-Loading Kilns
Brand: Paragon

The Iguana Kiln by Paragon has power to spare. Powered by reliable, extra  heavy-duty  elements, the Iguana promises a longer life than comparable kilns, because the elements do not "struggle" to reach high temperatures. 10,800 watts heat the 22&frac12;"H &times; 18"W &times; 18"D interior to a full Cone 10 (2350&deg;F).   Easy to install, the 240V Iguana plugs into a standard  6-50R  outlet, so it can be fired on the outlet most studio kilns already use.   The Iguana is easy to load, with a 22" stand that raises the interior floor height of the kiln to a comfortable 34&frac12;" high.  Industrial-gauge  elements are seated and protected in dropped, recessed firebrick grooves. The elements are easy to replace, because users can comfortably reach into the kiln.   Potters and ceramicists who struggle with  top-loading  kilns will enjoy the Iguana. The door swings open wide on a heavy &frac12;" steel rod with sealed bearings. A  spring-loaded  latch presses the door tightly closed. A recessed firebrick lip around the door seals in heat.    The Sentry digital controller is unsurpassed in reliability for a controller in its price range. It includes a programmed  cool-down ,  Cone-Fire  and  Ramp-Hold  modes, and is capable of accepting types K, R, or S thermocouples. A  Type-K  thermocouple with an Inconel sheath is a standard feature. (A  Type-S  thermocouple is recommended for firing stoneware and porcelain.)   The Sentry also tracks how much energy is being used when users program the kiln's wattage and the cost of electricity into the controller. Experimenting with firing speed, load density, and other factors can result in energy savings.   A safety switch shuts off the power to the Sentry controller when not in use.    A ventilated switch box is generously louvered for air circulation, assuring long life of the electrical components&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;yet dust is kept to a minimum.

The Paragon Super Dragon is an industrial furnace designed for pottery and ceramic studios. Surprisingly affordable, this front-loading kiln is loaded with features.   The Super Dragon exudes power. Its 21,600 watts heat the  36&quot;H &times; 27&quot;W &times; 27&quot;D  (15.18&nbsp;cu&nbsp;ft) interior to Cone 10 (2350&deg;F) with ample power to spare. This results in long element life, because the elements do not &quot;struggle&quot; to reach high temperatures. Dropped, recessed grooves seat  industrial-gauge  elements.   The Super Dragon's extra insulation saves energy and lengthens cooling. The 4&quot; thick walls, top, and door are made of 3&quot; firebrick backed by 1&quot; of ceramic fiber block insulation. The floor is 4&frac12;&quot; thick firebrick.   This extra insulation not only saves energy but also cools the kiln slowly without requiring the elements to be turned back on. This gives the  micro-crystalline  structure and color of the glaze sufficient time for full development. Cooling slowly achieves dramatic shifts in glaze color such as iron reds, for the richer look of gas firing.   The elements are &quot;tuned,&quot; which means hotter elements are placed in areas of the firing chamber that require more heat. This results in superior heat distribution.   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.   The Sentry 2.0 also tracks how much energy is being used when users program the kiln's wattage and the cost of electricity into the controller. Experimenting with firing speed, load density, and other factors can result in energy savings.   The  Type-K  thermocouple, hermetically sealed for accuracy, is standard with the Paragon Super Dragon.  Long-lasting  mercury relays power the elements, and a bank of  built-in   NEC/UL-compliant   high-amperage  fuses protect the kiln and circuit wiring.   Potters who struggle with  top-loading kilns  will enjoy the Super Dragon. The door swings open on a heavy hinge with sealed bearings, fastened to a 2&quot; tubular steel frame that extends from the floor to the top of the kiln. A floating door system features four spring door latches.   The ventilated switch box is generously louvered for air circulation, assuring long life of the electrical components&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;yet dust is kept to a minimum.   The Super Dragon includes a  built-in  stand and two tapered peepholes in the side of the kiln. It fits through 42&quot; high doorway.
