Paragon Industries has announced some exciting changes in their legendary top loading Ceramic and Pottery kilns starting in February of 2025.

The standard “TNF” Series kilns have received new Model/Part numbers.  But while these kilns are known by another name, they’re just as well built, and even more reliable now than ever!  Some upgrades:

·          All top-loading Ceramic and Pottery Kilns are built with 3” thick firebrick.  The 3-inch firebrick ensures efficient firing up to Cone 10.  Another advantage of 3” brick is that they help with element life, as the elements don’t “struggle” to reach temperatures.

·         All top-loading ceramic and pottery kilns are equipped with Solid State relays, while the Viking Series kilns use Mercury Relays.  Solid State and Mercury Relays provide extremely long-term reliability compared to standard Mechanical Relays.  Backup Mechanical Relays are installed as well.

·         An Auxiliary Power Outlet (AOP) is now standard on all Paragon top-loading Ceramic and Pottery kilns.   The AOP provides power for a kiln vent.  An Orton VentMaster Kiln Vent is recommended for all top loading kilns but is optional with your purchase.  Should you decide to add a Vent in the future, the kiln is already drilled for a Vent, and a Vent can be attached and programmed through the Touch Screen Sentinel Controller to operate without requiring a separate electric source. 


The TnF-27-3 is easier to load than the deeper studio kilns. It is only 22 ¼” deep, yet larger inside than the 29” deep 10-sided 24-series kilns.

The TnF-27-3 features sectional construction. Separate the kiln bottom and two sections to repair bricks, change elements, or to move the kiln down narrow stairwells or through the narrowest doorways. Twist-lock spring latches hold the assembled collars securely.

The top row of brick in the TnF-27-3 is 2” high and without element grooves. It is less susceptible to damage during loading than a grooved brick.

The massive, 12-sided Paragon digital TnF-27-3 kiln is perfect for School and University Art Programs, and in many Industrial applications requiring high temps up to 2350F. 

The TnF-27-3 uses deluxe 3” thick firebrick throughout: in the sidewalls, the reversible brick bottom, and the 3” thick lid. The massive lid is easy to lift with Paragon's patented “LiteLid,” which does away with cumbersome pulleys and cords and reduces lid weight to only several pounds of pressure. Most people can lift the lid with one hand. Unlike pulleys and weights, the LiteLid is self-contained on the kiln. No need to drill holes in the ceiling for pulleys. The LiteLid sharply reduces wear between the lid and top rim of firebrick. The truss and floating lid allow expansion of the lid. Ask competitors if their lid spring includes a truss and floating lid.

If you move your kiln out of the way when not in use, order an optional deluxe kiln stand with steel casters. 

A heavy galvanized steel base covers the reversible brick bottom completely. It folds up under the stainless case on all sides to strengthen the firing chamber. This is one more assurance that your Paragon kiln is built to last.

The Sentinel Touch Screen controller has powerful features that you will enjoy using, and is very user-friendly.
