Kiln Paragon
Looking for a small kiln to fire porcelain pendants?

My professor had an older small kiln (approx. 1.5 ft square) that was a front loading kiln. I used it to fire my porcelain pendants I made. Now I am having a hard time finding another small kiln that will fire high enough for porcelain.
I know paragon has kilns for PMC and stuff, but they only fire to 2000 degrees. Anyone have any suggestions?

I know that my small kiln (approx 8″ cubed inside area) gets up to 2500 or more. The pyrometer stops at 2500. It is a Jen-Ken. Try glass fusing or enameling kilns. Also you can take a kiln and re-wire it with the nicrome wire that has the specific temp. capabilities that you desire.

Paragon’s Dragon Kiln is powerful and feature-packed! Its muscular 16.8 KW heats the interior to cone 10. Extra insulation saves energy and allows the kiln to cool slowly, giving glazes time for full development. Orton Sentry 2.0 electronic controller….
