BLUEBIRD KILN (BLACK ONLY AVAILABLE)

The new BlueBird kiln from Paragon is a dream kiln for the glass bead enthusiast. It safely anneals the glass to prevent breakage during cooling. The 2 ¾” tall, 10” wide double doors give a total of 20” width for inserting bead rods. It is like having two kilns instead of one.

This new Bluebird now features a glass rod warmer at the top of the kiln and phenolic knobs and magnets on the doors.

The BlueBird has a user-friendly 3-key Sentry Xpress digital controller. It automatically maintains the annealing temperature that you program. The controller is packed with features but is so easy to use that your child could program it. To save table space, the controller is now in the base of the kiln.

Roof elements are embedded between layers of ceramic fiber board so a bead rod can't touch them.

The rugged steel case is light weight, portable, with a slotted base and louvered switch box for long life of the electrical system. The BlueBird plugs into a standard household outlet. It draws only 960 watts, less than many hair dryers. The kiln ships by convenient UPS. Specially designed cartons and foam padding assure that the kiln will arrive safely.,

The Sentry Xpress 3-key controller is packed with features. It includes two modes: Single Speed and 8-segment Ramp-Hold. The solid state controller continually monitors the firing so you can spend your time productively without closely watching the kiln. The sealed controller touch pad keeps out dust and is easy to wipe clean.
