Glass and clay firingmodes
The Paragon Janus-23 can fire both pottery and glass . Heating elements are mounted in the lid and sidewalls . Select between glass and pottery with the flip of a switch . With the switch in the glass position,heat comes from the top elements and the middle sidewall element . With the switch in the pottery position,heat comes from only the sidewall elements .
In the glass mode,fuse and sag large glass projects placed on a single shelf . In the pottery mode,fire to cone 10 . You can also fire several shelves of smaller glass pieces using the pottery mode .
Advanced element grooves
The elements in the lid are mounted in a firebrick ball groove that eliminates element pins . The element coils are wider than the groove opening,so the elements stay in place without pins .
Spring counter-balance lid
The lid on the Janus-23 is easy to lift with the Paragon spring counter-balance . For easier maintenance,we use 2 high blank wall bricks in the top row . Since the brick is without element grooves,it is less susceptible to damage during loadng .
Hinged control panel

The patented control box on the Janus-23 opens forward for easy maintenance . A folding support arm holds the box in the open position .
Heavy duty components
Wires 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 .
Refractory coating hardens the lid surface
Large,tapered peepholes offer a wide view of the firingchamber with little heat loss . The peepholes,both sides of the lid and top rim of sidewall firebrick are hardened and sealed with a special refractory coating to protect the ware from dust .
