    Paragon TnF-1613-3

    The TnF-1613-3 3" wall kiln is designed for porcelain, so it easily fires ceramics, china paint, decals and gold. The size is ideal for teachers of china paint or dolls. The 8-sided, 16 ½” wide and 13 ¼” deep interior is as tall as standard 7-sided kilns. The TnF-1613-3 kiln is 43% larger than the 66-3 series, yet costs only a few dollars more.

    The TnF-1613-3 plugs into a 30 amp, 240 volt outlet. (The kiln is also available for international electrical systems.) It uses 6400 watts of power, more watts per cubic foot than conventional kilns. The extra wattage helps compensate for aging elements or low voltage. This extra power is ample for cone 10 and, if desired, rapid heating. Elements last longer, because the extra wattage and thicker 3" firebricks help the elements reach porcelain temperatures without strain.

    Features of the TnF-1613-3

    • Long-life electrical system
    • Lock-in lid support with a positive catch
    • Wide-view tapered peepholes
    • Ventilated, louvered switch box
    • Two hand lifts
    • Heavy duty kiln stand with mar-proof plastic feet accommodates optional Orton KilnVent
    • Full-formed, galvanized steel base
    • Fall-away two stage Prop-R-Vent
    • Coated lid, peepholes and rim of firebricks
    • Operating instructions on switch box
    • Heavy gauge stainless steel case
    • Full firing capacity: fire ware directly on the brick bottom
    • Reversible brick bottom
    • Dropped, recessed brick grooves, which eliminate element pins

    The Furniture Kit

    The furniture kit consists of carefully selected fireclay shelves and posts for this particular model. When estimating the price of the kiln, include the cost of furniture. The furniture allows you to stack multiple layers of ware. Without it, you could fire only the ware that would fit on the kiln bottom.
