Paragon TnF 82-3 Kiln

The Hobby Kiln

List Price $1545.00

Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Discounted Price $1060.00

    The Paragon TnF 82 and TnF 82-3 are the traditional hobby size kilns produced by Paragon.  Because the TnF 82-3 is the energy miser version of this kiln series and is capable of firing up to Cone 10 Dogwood Ceramic Supply has the TnF 82-3 on display our showroom and heavily stocked in the warehouse.  The TnF 82-3 has a moderate internal volume (interior is 16 ½" wide by 22 ¼" deep) that is large enough to fire most cast greenware items, such as Christmas Trees or canister sets, or hand thrown pottery with the exception of large platters and bowls.
    The 35" above ground easy loading depth of the TnF 82-3 is identical to the larger volume TnF 23-3 and TnF 27-3 and the TnF 82-3 includes the same Sentry 2.0 Digital Controller as the much larger Paragon Kilns.  Wiring requirements are identical between these 3 kilns, which makes upgrading to a larger kiln at a later date much easier.  The only significant difference (besides internal volume) of the TnF 82-3 versus the larger kilns is the lid of the TnF 82-3 is not equipped with Paragon's spring loaded counter balanced LiteLid for ease of opening the kiln lid.

    The TnF 82-3 is stocked by Dogwood Ceramic Supply for over the counter purchase by local and regional customers.  The shipping crate is approximately 30"w x 35"d x 42"h.  The kiln will fit into many SUV's or vans, though the door opening of some SUV's may require the kiln to be uncrated for ease of entry. The in-store price ($1160.00) is slightly higher than the drop shipped price due to warehouse and handling costs, however there are no freight charges for over the counter purchases from The Showroom inventory.  The price of the accessories remains the same as the drop ship prices.
