It plugs in almost anywhere on a household 120 volt outlet. Take this kiln to seminars or on vacation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTest Glazes with Digital Accuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTest glass and glazes in the FireFly Digital before firing production loads in a large kiln. Perfecting colors for larger work is faster and cheaper in a small test kiln than in a large kiln. Test glazes while you feel the momentum instead of when you have enough ware to fill your large kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Excellent Classroom Kiln\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause new teachers often inherit bags of unlabeled clay, many kiln loads have been ruined because the clay was fired to the wrong temperature. With your own classroom test kiln, you can fire small clay samples to determine the correct temperature. Your students can make gifts in time for a birthday or holiday instead of when the school’s large kiln is available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTeachers are delighted to find that the FireFly Digital is relatively inexpensive. The kiln creates enthusiasm for the clay program, because students see their test results right away. And testing in a small kiln will vastly increase your students’ knowledge of glazes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood Choice for Beginners\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Paragon FireFly Digital fires rapidly with a digital Sentry Xpress controller at the precise rate and temperature you choose. The controller stores up to 4 custom programs in memory. The display shows the kiln temperature throughout firing and cooling in your choice of °F or °C. Program up to 8 segments, or steps, per firing. Duplicate the firing schedule of your large kiln. If you know the natural cooling rate of your large kiln, you can even program that cooling rate in the FireFly Digital.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will never outgrow a small kiln. If you later buy a larger one, continue to use the small one for testing or small projects. A small test kiln is invaluable in solving ceramic glaze problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Kiln Addiction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe heat of the kiln is magical and offers wonderful surprises. Stained glass, enamels, and ceramic glazes undergo a complete transformation in the kiln. Opening a kiln to view your treasures is a festive moment that you will never outgrow no matter how much experience you gain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe firing results will thrill you. Create breathtaking glass bracelets and pendants in the 8\" square x 4 1\/2\" high interior. Fire small glass casting molds and even drop molds. But you are not limited to glass. Fire porcelain or stoneware pendants and beads. Test glazes. The kiln has plenty of power to reach 2350°F (1287°C).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL-Shaped Notches Strengthen the Firing Chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Paragon FireFly Digital is made of durable 2 1\/2\" thick insulating firebrick, which stores heat for slow cooling and safe annealing of smaller glass projects. The solid 2 1\/2\" thick firebrick top and bottom help seal in the heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hinged lid is self-adjusting to compensate for expansion at high temperatures. The hinge includes a stop that holds the lid open and out of the way. Lift the lid with a handle on the front or a separate handle on the side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-Lasting Elements and Thermocouple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDropped, recessed grooves protect the replaceable heating elements for longer life. Wires are fastened to the elements with heat-dissipating connectors refined and proven for decades in Paragon kilns. Rugged construction makes this little kiln a workhorse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis kiln is built to last. Elements are coiled from the finest high-temperature wire available. The thermocouple, which senses the firing chamber temperature, is protected with a high-nickel stainless steel sheath for long life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch the Interior Through the Optional Glass Window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can order the FireFly Digital with an optional glass window in the top. The glass window is rated to 2300°F (1260°C), so it can easily withstand glass-fusing temperatures. Please note, however, that the window reduces the kiln’s maximum temperature to approximately 2100°F (1148°C) and is meant for glass fusing. (You can still fire porcelain and stoneware even with the window, but you will need to plug the window with ceramic fiber.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Paint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FireFly Digital switchbox is coated with a durable high temperature, water-base finish. We chose this type of paint because of the low emissions during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for our employees and cuts down on pollution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in Stand, Long-Lasting Electrical Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA built-in 2 3\/4\" tall steel base with mar-proof rubber feet covers the entire firebrick bottom. Place the kiln directly onto a heat-resistant work surface. No extra stand is needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA stainless steel heat shield inside the switch box protects wiring from contact with the case. Costly nickel-plated copper wiring is covered with high temperature glass-braided insulation. Slots on the top, side, and bottom of the switch box circulate air for the long life of the electrical components. In addition, Paragon kilns go through a 15-step quality control inspection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FireFly Digital is proudly made in Mesquite, Texas by skilled craftspeople.
