A new Paragon Dragon Kiln sells for $5500.00, plus freight, plus options. We are offering this unit, in very good working condition, for $2500.00 with FREE SHIPPING in the continental USA. The pictures were taken on 11/24/2017, after the unit was cleaned, prepared and checked out. We have replaced earlier photos. The stain on the rear wall was caused by a batch that obviously went wrong. I have lowered the price $300.00 from the originallyposted $2800.00. This gives the buyer enough additional savings to replace the damaged bricks, if so desired.I am willing to give a 30 day warranty, but you pay the freight back, if not satisfied. Notice it has the Sentry 2.0 system, wheels, good door handles, etc. I have done all I could to answer questions.We currently have 3 watchers. Don\'t wait long or this chance will be gone.
NOTE:As you probably know, Paragon offers upgrades, repair parts and supplies and instructional material and videos. This is not an obsolete model. It\'s a unit to last a long time.
The Paragon Dragon Kiln truly is an industrial furnace designed for pottery and ceramic studios. Since October 2001, Dogwood Ceramic Supply has been a proud owner & user of one of the very first Paragon Dragon Kilns ever made. Fired nearly on a daily basis, with many loads to Cone 6 or hotter, the Paragon Dragon at Dogwood Ceramic Supply has performed flawlessly in over 16 years of continuous usage. A true testament to the design and durability of the Paragon Dragon Kiln.
Why is the Paragon Dragon so durable? The 16,500 watts of power is heating 9 cubic feet of chamber backed by 4\" of insulation. A top loading kiln of similar size, such as theParagon TnF 27-3, will typically be powered with only 11,500 watts of power and utilize 3\" insulation (or even less on some brands of kilns). Comparatively the Paragon Dragon is over-powered and over-insulated which results in longer element life as the elements do not struggle to repeatedly reach high temperatures.
As durable as the Paragon Dragon Kiln may be, it is even more accurate in firing performance. The element design is balanced, applying more heat to the top and bottom of the chamber to compensate for heat loss over the unheated areas. The results of the element design is flawless performance with nearly perfect front to back, side to side and top to bottom heat distribution using a single zone S-Type Thermocouple as documented by theOrton Witness Conesused in every kiln load by Dogwood Ceramic Supply.
Paragon Dragon, combining accuracy and durability into a single high performance front loading pottery kiln.
