Steel Stand, Stackable Design The original Caldera and Caldera-S kilns were placed on top of four firebrick blocks. The new kilns now ship with a sturdy 2 1/2" high x 14" x 12 3/4" steel stand, complete with mar-proof rubber feet. With a separate top and bottom, the Caldera-S is stackable and completely portable. The kiln is easy to carry to seminars. Take it with you on vacation. Rugged Construction The Caldera-S is built to last. Elements are coiled from the finest high-temperature wire. They use heat-dissipating element connectors refined and proven over many years in Paragon kilns. Dropped, recessed brick grooves protect the elements for long life. To strengthen the firing chamber, the firebrick corners are fitted together with L-shaped notches. This type of joint lasts longer than the butted joint and the "picture frame" mitered joint found on competitive brands. Rugged construction makes this kiln a little workhorse. The Caldera-S switchbox is coated with a durable high temperature, water-base finish. This type of paint has the low emissions during spraying, creating a safer working environment for our employees and reducing pollution during manufacturing. The Caldera-S is proudly made in America to exacting standards. The Magic of a Kiln Imagine the glass you could sag, slump, and fuse in this kiln.
