Paragon CT102329 Ceramic and Pottery Kiln 10 Sided

PARAGON CT102329: Spacious, Strong, and Studio-Ready

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 CT102329?

The PARAGON CT102329 is a round, 10-sided kiln with an interior diameter of 23” and an interior height of 29”, providing a generous 7.10 cubic feet of firing space. This deeper configuration is ideal for artists producing taller sculptural work, loading multiple layers of ware, or running frequent batch firings. It’s a favorite among production studios and schools with high throughput—offering both capacity and performance in one robust design.

Durability meets convenience

Built for high-volume firing, the CT102329 features a sectional construction that allows each ring to be separated for easy transport, brick repair, or element replacement. The top row of grooveless 2” blank bricks helps protect the interior during loading.

Maintenance is simplified with a drop-down switch box hinged at the base, supported by a fold-out arm. The lid is outfitted with Paragon’s patented LiteLid spring system, making it light to lift while reducing wear between the lid and top rim of firebrick. A reversible floor brick extends the kiln’s service life.

Additional Highlights

• Sectional design with twist-lock spring latches

• Lock-in lid support with positive catch

• Two large, tapered peepholes

• Fire directly on the brick bottom for full capacity
