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

Plugs into a standard 120V household outlet. Posts, extra shelves, bead door and window are optional extras.

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.
One 1/4" ceramic fiber shelfA single 1/4"-thick ceramic fiber shelf is packed with the kiln. This is the only free kiln furniture on any current Paragon, and it is one shelf — not a kit. The 7" square shelf, posts and the SC furniture kit are separate purchases.
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 and wires the controller before the kiln leaves the factory. Paragon has been renaming and replacing its controller line and dealer listings are out of date at different dates, so we do not print a model name here. We confirm the exact controller with Paragon when you order.
Type-K thermocouple, installedFitted at the factory and wired to the controller. Type-K is standard across the current Paragon range.
Cord and plug — NEMA 5-15RParagon fits a cord with a NEMA 5-15R plug on the 120V build. The plug changes with the voltage option you order, so tell us your service and we confirm the receptacle before the order goes in.
Paragon limited warranty — one yearOne year from purchase on this model, per Paragon's published warranty schedule. Paragon does not warrant the Type-K thermocouple, so treat that as a wear part. Keep your proof of purchase.
Not includedThe 7" square shelf is not included, and neither is the SC furniture kit — both are separate Paragon items. The quartz window, the 6.5" bead door with mandrel holder and the muffle kit are separate options too.

Common questions
What can I fire in the SC3?
The SC3 is designed for Art Clay Silver and PMC silver clays, decals, china paint, enameling on metal, and small glass fusing projects. The 2000°F maximum temperature is ideal for these applications. It's not suitable for traditional ceramics or pottery, which require higher temperatures (cone 5–10, or 2150°F–2380°F).
Do I need an electrician to install this kiln?
No. The SC3 plugs into any standard 120-volt household outlet. No special wiring, no electrician, no dedicated circuit required. This makes it perfect for home studios, classrooms, and mobile teaching environments where access to 240V power isn't available.
How long does a typical firing take?
The digital controller enables fast firing cycles that complete projects in minutes rather than hours. Exact time depends on the material and firing schedule—PMC silver clay can fire in as little as 10–30 minutes, while glass fusing may take longer. This is significantly faster than traditional ceramic kilns.
What colors does the SC3 come in?
Paragon kilns are typically available in standard industrial finishes. Contact Peach State Pottery to confirm current color options and availability for the SC3 model.
Why buy from an authorized Paragon dealer?
Paragon's one-year limited warranty is only valid when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. Unauthorized resellers (including some online marketplaces) cannot provide valid warranty coverage. Additionally, authorized dealers offer expert technical support, proper shipping/handling, and access to genuine Paragon replacement parts.
