Paragon Janus Ovation

The Big Kiln

List Price $3890.00

Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Discounted Price $2595.00

    At 11.4 cubic feet of kiln volume the Paragon Janus Ovation is the largest kiln in the Paragon Janus series of kilns.  Like all of the other Janus Kilns the Janus Ovation combines high firing capabilities with the ability to slump and fuse glass.  The Janus Ovation is based upon the Ovation 10 kiln from the Fusion series of Paragon Kilns and is able to fire large scale glass projects in a single firing.  The Janus Ovation is 40% larger in volume than the popular TnF 27-3 or Janus 27 and the Janus Ovation keeps the easy to load depth as the firing chamber is only 35" above the ground, but as the kiln is 22.5" from sidewall to sidewall the additional volume is not always advantageous.
   
    Due to difficulty in handling and the size of the shipping crate this kiln is designated Drop Ship Only (DSO).
