  1. Another mystery kiln

    Posted 25 Jun 2012

    Well, here we go again. We just get our kilns sorted and set up and something new comes into the studio.

    My husband's boss was excited to find out that I was a potter this past weekend. It turns out that when he purchased another business, it included a Paragon kiln! He calls it 'that box', and couldn't for the life of him figure out why it would be there (at an engineering firm). Anyway, he gave it to us, and Bobby went to pick it up today.

    It is a Paragon model # A33B. The tag says 120/240/3W volts, 25.9 amps, Phase 1, Max temp 2300.

    We were kind of impressed that it came with a LOT of stilts, of all sizes, and many of them are covered with glaze. We were amazed that two shelves (5/8") are warped, and one has broken across the middle.

    There are two switches. No kiln sitter. How do I use this kiln, what is it for? I have a Recommended Firing Schedule that estimates 6-9 hours to the max temp from zero.

    It also has a strange plug on it that has an extra wire.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi Janie! Many thanks for your kind post on the new wheel I received. I am very anxious to have fun. Not yet retired, but definitely making plans, albeit long range. :-)
