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.

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.

Read the full return policy

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).

Overview

Paragon · Electric Kiln · Compact Test Kiln Paragon QuikFire VI Test Kiln QuikFire VI · 120V · Rated to 2000°F A genuinely portable test kiln, the QuikFire VI fits a 6"×6"×6" chamber into a benchtop footprint light enough to move between a studio and a classroom. It runs on standard 120V household current at just 1,560 watts, making it the simplest way to test glaze combinations, small jewelry pieces, or clay test tiles without firing up a full-size kiln.

What’s included
The kiln, assembled and wiredA small test kiln, built and wired at the factory.
On/Off switch and built-in pyrometerThere is no digital controller on a QuikFire. You get a simple On/Off switch and a built-in pyrometer that reads chamber temperature, so you fire by the gauge and by eye.
Type-K thermocouple, installedFitted at the factory and wired to the controller. Type-K is standard across the current Paragon range.
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 warranty — three monthsThree months from purchase on the QuikFire, per Paragon's published warranty schedule. It is the shortest term Paragon writes and it reflects that this is a small test kiln. Keep your proof of purchase.
Not includedNo kiln furniture. The QuikFire furniture kit — two C-2 shelves, a pound of glass separator and a Haik brush — is a separate purchase.

Common questions
What is the QuikFire VI used for?
The QuikFire VI is a small test kiln for firing glaze test tiles, small jewelry pieces, enamel samples, and clay test tiles — a quick way to check color, temperature, and technique before committing a full kiln load.
Can I use it as my only kiln?
Its 6"×6"×6" chamber is intentionally small — it's built as a companion test kiln, not a replacement for a full-size studio kiln. Most potters and jewelry makers pair it with a larger kiln for their finished production work.
Does it plug into a standard outlet?
Yes — the QuikFire VI runs on 120V household current at 1,560 watts, so no special wiring or dedicated circuit is required in most homes.
How is temperature controlled?
The QuikFire VI is a manually controlled test kiln — you set and monitor the firing yourself rather than programming a digital schedule, which keeps it simple and affordable for quick test runs.
Is the warranty valid if I buy from Peach State Pottery?
Yes. Peach State Pottery is an authorized Paragon dealer, so your QuikFire VI comes with Paragon's full one-year manufacturer's warranty. Register your kiln within 30 days of delivery to activate coverage.
