Paragon Industries - shop talk

Arts & Activities, Dec, 2003

PARAGON INDUSTRIES has just introduced a front-loading kiln called the Iguana. It comes with the Sentry digital temperature controller manufactured by the Orton Ceramic Foundation for Paragon. The Paragon Iguana is rated to 2350 [degrees]F (cone 10). The interior is 18" wide x 18" deep x 22 1/2" high. Paragon designed the kiln especially for people who do not want to bend down to load a kiln. With the 22-inch tall stand, the Iguana's floor height is 34 1/2 inches. The Orton Sentry controller includes a programmed cooldown for experimenting with glazes and cooling rates. The Iguana includes a switch that shuts off power to the controller when not in use.
