Continue to use the Caldera XL for testing or for small projects. Carry it with you to seminars or on vacation; convenient hand lifts on the sides aid in moving the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003eThe Caldera XL in the Classroom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Caldera XL is a nice addition to school programs. This digital test kiln is relatively inexpensive. With the Caldera XL, students can make gifts in time for a birthday or holiday instead of waiting until the school’s large kiln is fired. A test kiln creates enthusiasm for a clay program. Students can test glazes while they feel the momentum instead of waiting to fire them in the large kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew teachers inherit bags of unlabeled clay in their classrooms. Many loads of clay have been ruined because they were fired to the wrong temperature. With a Caldera XL kiln, you can easily test unlabeled clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003eBuilt to Last\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe firebrick corners are fitted together with L-shaped notches for extra strength. This type of joint lasts longer than the butted joint and the \"picture frame\" mitered joint found on competitive brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type-K thermocouple, which reads the firing chamber temperature, is protected in a high-nickel stainless steel sheath for long life. A steel base supports the brick bottom. The Paragon Caldera XL kiln comes with a built-in steel stand; no extra stand is needed. Use the switch on the front panel to turn off power to the controller when the digital test kiln is idle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sides of the lid and top rim of sidewall firebricks are hardened and sealed with a refractory coating to protect the ware from dust. The firing chamber, including the lid and bottom, is made of 3” thick firebricks, 20% thicker than standard 2 1\/2” bricks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paragon Caldera XL kiln has dual mechanical relays for extra reliability. They turn on power to the elements after receiving a signal from the digital controller. Two relays last longer than the single relay of competitive kilns because of the reduced amperage going through each relay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeating elements are made from the finest high-temperature wire available. Paragon uses heat-dissipating element connectors refined and proven over many years in our kilns. The stainless steel case and lid band include case tighteners for easy maintenance of the digital test kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003eWater-Base Paint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paragon Caldera XL kiln control box is painted with a durable high temperature, water-base finish. We use water-base paint because of the low emissions during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for our employees and cuts down on pollution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003eUPS Shipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paragon Caldera XL kiln can ship by UPS.

When estimating the price of the kiln, include the cost of furniture. The furniture allows you to stack multiple layers of ware.
