It holds three crucibles, which you can access through three 9” holes in the lid. Enjoy the freedom of mixing custom glass colors. Make huge glass figurines, paperweights, blown vessels, stringers, and much more. Pull your own neon tubing. Make glass castings. The Trifecta is a glass blower’s dream kiln, designed by glass blowers. This kiln is pure celebration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrucible Covers, Extra Wall Insulation, K-25 Firebricks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe three crucible holes each include a firebrick crucible cover with wooden handle. The lid is held in place with four T-handle spring latches. (The lid does not have a hinge.) Four hand lifts are mounted to the lid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 3” thick, high temperature K-25 firebrick walls are wrapped with ceramic fiber blanket between the firebricks and stainless steel case. As with the walls, the K-25 firebrick lid and bottom are 3” thick, which is 20% thicker than the standard 2 1\/2” firebrick. The extra insulation and heavy-duty elements are designed for very long heat soaks. Check the crucibles through the peephole, which is tapered for easy viewing. Four hand lifts aid in moving the kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum Thermocouple, Industrial Mercury Relay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe deluxe S-Type platinum thermocouple with ceramic protection tube is standard on all Trifecta kilns. This deluxe, hassle-free thermocouple far outlasts the standard K-Type for your peace of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mercury relay, ideal for long firings, is standard on the Trifecta. (The relay sends power from the controller to the heating elements.) The industrial mercury relay in this kiln outlasts mechanical relays. The life of the quiet, reliable mercury relay has been measured in millions of on\/off cycles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeparate Bottom, Steel Base Plate, 9” Stand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trifecta has a separate bottom section held in place with four T-handle spring latches. Should a crucible crack during firing and leak glass onto the firebrick bottom, merely replace the damaged bottom section. With the detachable bottom, you won’t worry about damage from a crucible “incident.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 9” tall kiln stand is included at no extra charge. The stand is complete with mar-proof plastic feet. A heavy galvanized steel base covers the reversible brick bottom completely. It folds up under the stainless case on all sides to strengthen the firing chamber. This is one more assurance that your reliable Paragon kiln is built to last.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Convenient Digital Controller\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trifecta includes the Sentry Xpress digital controller. Because of the extended holds at high temperatures, the controller is in a separate wall-mounted panel and attached to the kiln with 6’ cables. This keeps the controller away from the heat for longer life. Program the digital controller for the exact consistency of glass melt that you desire. Enjoy predictable results. You can also use the kiln for pottery or glass fusing. The kiln comes with a one year warranty. (Please note: Due to the long firing cycles of a crucible kiln, the warranty does not cover the heating elements.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trifecta has three elements. If one element burns out, the kiln will still have 2\/3 of its original power. This may not be enough to keep the glass molten, but it might give the glass blower additional time to use up the glass and save the crucible. You will know an element burned out because you will see a drop in temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuality Components\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWires are fastened to the elements with heat-dissipating connectors refined and proven over many years in Paragon kilns. Elements are coiled from the finest high-temperature wire available. The Trifecta control box is finished in a durable high temperature, water-base blue paint, which releases low emissions in the factory during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for our employees and cuts down on pollution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd, of course, the glass blower’s Trifecta furnace is made in America by skilled workers. Many of them have been with Paragon for over a decade.

At the end of a firing, the controller will give the cost of electricity to fire that load. Find out how little a kiln actually costs to fire. Learn to conserve energy by experimenting with firing speed, load density, etc. \u003cbr\u003e AOP Vent: The “Auxiliary Output” is available on most Paragon kilns that have the 12-key Sentry. The AOP is a relay-powered electrical receptacle mounted to the kiln. You can plug an Orton Vent Master into the AOP to control when the vent operates during firing. \u003cbr\u003e Stop\/Back Key goes back one step with each key press during programming to correct errors. \u003cbr\u003e Add Time Key adds five minutes to a temperature hold with each key press during firing.
