Fireclay shelves and posts used inside the kiln are called ``furniture'. With furniture, you can stack more ware in your kiln than you ever could place on the bottom of the kiln alone. ``Furniture Kits" are the shelves and posts we recommend for each model. They have been selected to accommodate a wide variety of work for your particular kiln. Shelves and posts are also sold separately in standard cartons. Shelves should be at least 2" smaller in diameter than the kiln interior. Shelves up to 15" wide may be fired to cone 10, (way above this kilns normal firing temperature). Shelves wider than 15" may be fired to cone 8. Shelves may warp at sustained cone 10 temperature, therefore, we do not guarantee shelves against warpage
Description:

Designed for the gruelling schedule of daily firing of full loads. 22½" x 29" deep, its 7.10 cubic foot capacity is a very sensible studio size, taking good loads of everyday items, but also able to cope with the big Crest Dragon, Dalmation, very large platters, or a mountain of smaller plates! The Paint Your Own Pottery studios... ...often opt for the Studio Two ceramic kiln where they cannot physically get their first choice, the 4 inches wider Goliath, through their doorway. The slightly smaller size also means that the fired load cools noticable faster, making up in the faster turn-round a lot of what it loses in the smaller capacity. Frequently the contemporaries 2nd kiln is a Studio Two kiln, perfect for the overflow from the Goliath, or for those odd slack days when you cannot fill your largest kiln. We even have a few mobile Pottery Painting Party people who regularly fill a Studio Two kiln when they are doing adult parties, hen parties, or several childrens parties at a time. For the growing Hobby Ceramic studio, the Studio Two kiln fires as quickly as the Studio One kiln, but the greater size and mass means cooling takes longer, but not as long as the Massive Goliath kiln . In practice the Two can regularly be fired three times in two days, moving a lot of profitable ware! Treat with care and this kiln will give years of firing with a minimum of maintainance. The high fire elements are made from the finest alloy available, and they are very deeply seated in the specially cut firebricks, not conspicuously laying in open grooves where they can be so easily damaged by contaminats. As with all our kilns, when you do need spares we have them here ready for immediate despatch, not days of waiting for them to be made for you. Regular kiln maintainance seminars teach how easy it is to service a Paragon/ Hobby Ceramicraft kiln. The brick base is supported and protected by an edge to edge galvanised steel base. Inner lid, top of sidewalls and peepholes are hardened with a special refactory coating to make them wear resistant and less likely to shed brick dust onto your precious glazed ware Each kiln comes with a stand with plastic feet to protect yout floor. If you need to move the kiln, a deluxe base with castors may be ordered. If ventilation of your kiln fumes to outside atmosphere is a problem, then the Orton Kiln Vent is an optional extra which can be fitted now, or retrofitted later. This will blow fumes through up to 60 feet of tubing to the outside if necessary. (Usually a small open window or a cheap window or wall vent fan is all you need though.) The kiln will squeeze through a 32" door (just!)
