Paragon CT102322 Ceramic and Pottery Kiln 10 Sided

PARAGON CT102322: Balanced, Capable, and Built for Versatility

Built on the Ceramic Top legacy

The PARAGON CT Series—short for Ceramic Top—delivers professional-grade performance with durability and thoughtful engineering built into every model. These round kilns are trusted by ceramic artists, educators, and studios alike for their consistency and longevity. Every CT model includes:

• 3” thick firebrick throughout for superior insulation

• Solid state relay (SSR) for quieter, more efficient, and longer-lasting performance

• AOP (Auxiliary Outlet Plug) and vent-ready design (pre-drilled for kiln vent installation)

• Dropped, recessed element grooves—no pins required

• Full-formed galvanized steel base that strengthens and protects the firing chamber

• Dust-resistant coating on lid, peepholes, and rim to extend component life

Why choose the PARAGON CT102322?

This model is a round, 10-sided kiln with an interior diameter of 23” and a height of 22”, offering a spacious 5.10 cubic feet of firing capacity. Its well-balanced proportions make it ideal for most studio and classroom environments—large enough for plates, bowls, and tall vases, but shallow enough for easy loading.

It’s the perfect match for anyone firing porcelain, stoneware, or low-fire ceramics on a regular basis.

Durability meets convenience

The CT102322 features a top row of grooveless 2” blank bricks to reduce the risk of damage during loading. Its massive 3” thick lid is supported by Paragon’s patented LiteLid spring system, which eliminates pulleys and ceiling-mounted hardware while keeping the lid light and easy to lift with one hand.

The drop-down switch box, hinged at the bottom and supported by a folding arm, allows fast access for maintenance. A reversible firebrick floor adds to the kiln’s longevity.

Additional Highlights

• Lock-in lid support with positive catch

• Large, tapered peepholes for easy viewing

• Ventilated, louvered switch box

• Fire directly on the brick bottom for full capacity

• Heavy-duty stainless steel case

• Certified to CSA and UL Standard 499

Optional Furniture Kit
