I looked at the new Paragon Viking II-27 at NCECA.
I was hoping that our Clayart buddy Arnold Howard would be
there with Paragon so we could meet him.
This new kiln is a real improvement, not just hype.
They have done tests measuring the temperature of the outside
skin during firing, and it looks good; never gets much over
200 degrees.
The weakness? They are still using the same ol' under-insulated
2 1/2 inch lid they have always used.
Can Paragon figure out a way to add more insulation to the top?
