PARAGON CT61109: Compact, Capable, and Made for Precision
Why choose the PARAGON CT61109?
The PARAGON CT61109 is a round, 6-sided kiln with an interior diameter of 11” and a height of 9”, providing 0.56 cubic feet of firing space. As the smallest member of the CT family, it’s an ideal solution for small-scale work in porcelain, china painting, metal clay, test tiles, or jewelry. Its portability, low power requirements, and quick firing cycles make it the go-to kiln for educators, hobbyists, or professionals working on delicate, high-precision projects.
Plugging into a standard 120V outlet with a 30-amp breaker, the CT61109 is both powerful and efficient. It’s perfect for home studios or limited space environments where high performance is still a must.
Heavily insulated
The walls are 4 1/2” thick! The 2 1/2” thick firebricks are backed with an extra 2” of block insulation between the firebricks and the stainless steel case. The lid is 3” thick, and the bottom is 4 1/2” thick.

- Lock-in lid support with positive catch
- Coated lid and top rim of firebrick

A kiln you won’t outgrow
You will never outgrow a small kiln. If you later buy a larger kiln, continue to use the CT61109 for testing or small projects. Perfect a new design in the small kiln before running production quantities in the large kiln.
A small test kiln is invaluable in solving ceramic glaze problems and perfecting difficult glazes such as crystallines.
