With a 22.5″ interior diameter and 22.25″ depth (5.10 cu ft), it provides generous space for large platters, production pottery, and full multi-shelf loads while remaining accessible for easy loading. Built on Paragon’s trusted Ceramic Top platform, this model combines proven durability with the flexibility of Janus dual-mode firing—making it an ideal centerpiece for busy studios and classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kiln features 3″ firebrick insulation throughout, solid-state relays (SSR) for quiet and efficient operation, and a vent-ready, pre-drilled base with an AOP (Auxiliary Outlet Plug) for seamless integration with an optional Orton VentMaster system. Its 10-sided chamber design promotes even heat distribution, while dropped, recessed element grooves eliminate the need for pins and extend element life. A top row of grooveless blank bricks helps reduce interior wear, and the reversible firebrick floor extends the kiln’s working life. Paragon’s patented LiteLid spring system allows smooth, one-handed lid lifting, while the drop-down hinged switch box provides convenient access for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Janus dual-mode system uses dedicated top and sidewall elements, controlled by a simple toggle switch that allows you to switch between glass and pottery firing modes. Glass mode activates the top and mid-side elements for controlled radiant heat—ideal for fusing, slumping, and sagging—while pottery mode uses sidewall elements only to ensure even heat distribution for bisque and glaze firings up to cone 10. This flexibility makes the CT102322 Janus an excellent choice for multi-disciplinary artists or institutions looking to maximize capability without adding another kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eController\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CT102322 Janus includes the Sentinel SmartTouch Controller, featuring a responsive color touchscreen, cone-fire and ramp-hold programming, user-friendly prompts for both ceramic and glass cycles, firing logs, diagnostics, and scheduling tools for consistent, repeatable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional Add-Ons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurniture Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Includes six C-23H shelves (20″ round × ¾″), a full set of 1½″ square posts in multiple heights, and kiln wash—everything needed to begin firing immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVentMaster Kiln Vent\u003c\/strong\u003e: This optional system improves heat distribution, enhances glaze consistency, and safely removes fumes.
