When it ships & how it's delivered · freight to your door

Paragon builds most kilns to order once your order is placed. We email your confirmed ship date and tracking.

  • The freight carrier calls you to book a delivery window.
  • Delivery is curbside with a liftgate. Have a helper or hand truck to move it inside.
  • Check the crate before you sign. Note any damage on the receipt and send us photos.

Enter your ZIP in "See your delivered price" above the Add to cart button to see freight and your delivered total.

Authorized Paragon dealer · full factory warranty

Brand new and shipped direct from Paragon, so it carries Paragon's full factory warranty. If something goes wrong, call us and we handle the claim with the factory for you.

Warranty terms are in the Warranty and support section below.

Returns: request within 15 days, unused

Because kilns are heavy and often built to order, returns are limited, so we'd rather help you pick the right one up front:

  • Ask within 15 days of purchase or 2 days after delivery, whichever comes first. We issue a return authorization (RA).
  • It must be new, unused (beyond the factory test fire) and in its original packaging.
  • A restocking fee of at least 25% applies, up to 50% on custom, 3-phase or made-to-order units. Return freight is on the buyer unless we made an error.
  • Damaged in transit? Note it on the delivery receipt, send us photos and we'll help with the freight claim.

Will it work in my space? Power check

Most 240V kilns need their own circuit and the matching outlet, installed by an electrician. Homes are usually 240V; schools and commercial buildings are often 208V, so pick the voltage that matches your panel.

Send us a photo of your breaker panel or outlet and we'll confirm before your kiln is built: 470-264-3563 (call or text).

What’s included
The kiln, assembled and wiredParagon builds, wires and tests it at the factory, so it arrives ready to connect to power.
Built-in baseThe base is part of the kiln body, so nothing separate ships for it and there is nothing to bolt together.
Digital controller, factory-installedParagon fits the controller at the factory, and on this line you choose it when you order — a touchscreen base controller or one of two upgrades. Dealer listings disagree on the current model names, so we confirm the exact controller with Paragon before the order goes in.
Type-K thermocouple, installedFitted at the factory and wired to the controller. Type-K is standard across the current Paragon range.
On/Off safety switch and door micro-switchA hard On/Off switch on the kiln, plus a micro-switch that shuts the elements off when the door opens.
Cord and plugParagon ships this kiln with a cord and plug. The receptacle type changes with the voltage option you order, so we confirm the exact plug — or whether your configuration is wired direct instead — with Paragon before the order goes in.
Paragon limited warrantyParagon limited warranty — we confirm the term for your model before you order. Paragon's published schedule and its dealers' listings disagree on the term for this kiln, so we will not print a number here that we cannot stand behind.
Not includedNo shelves, posts or furniture. The gas injection flow meter, the solid-state relay upgrade and the 8" x 8" stainless wax tray are separate options at order time.

Common questions
What kind of work is the PMT13 built for?
The PMT13 suits professionals doing tool steel hardening, stress testing, and production heat treating runs that need more chamber space than the PMT10 while staying in the 2350°F PMT temperature range.
What does the 32-segment programming let me do?
You can program complex multi-stage cycles — ramp, hold, ramp again, cool — in a single saved program, which is useful for alloys that need precise multi-step heat treating schedules.
Can I add gas atmosphere control?
Yes — a Gas Inlet & Flow Meter is available, with an optional solenoid valve for automated control, to reduce oxidation scale during heat treating.
Is the warranty valid if I buy from Peach State Pottery?
Yes. Peach State Pottery is an authorized Paragon dealer, so your PMT13 comes with Paragon's full one-year manufacturer's warranty. Register your kiln within 30 days of delivery to activate coverage.
