The Iguana is powered with reliable extra heavy-duty elements. This results in long element life, because the elements do not struggle to reach high temperatures. 10,800 watts heat the 18 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 22 1/2 inches high interior to a full cone 10.
The 240 volt Iguana plugs into a standard 6-50R outlet, so you can fire it on the outlet most studio kilns already use.
The Iguana is easy on the back muscles. With the optional 22 inch stand, the interior floor height is a comfortable 34 1/2 inches.
Industrial-gauge elements are seated and protected in dropped, recessed firebrick grooves. The elements are easy to replace, because you can comfortably reach into the kiln.
Potters and ceramists who struggle with top-loading kilns will enjoy the Iguana. The door swings open wide on a heavy 1/2 inch steel rod with sealed bearings. A spring-loaded latch presses the door tightly closed. A recessed firebrick lip around the door seals in heat.
The Sentry digital controller is manufactured by Orton Ceramic Foundation. It is unsurpassed in reliability for a controller in its price range. It includes a programmed cool-down, Cone-Fire and Ramp-Hold modes, and is capable of accepting types K, R, or S thermocouples. A type-K thermocouple with an Inconel sheath comes standard. We also recommend the optional Type-S for stoneware and porcelain.
For your peace of mind, the Iguana includes a safety switch that shuts off power to the controller when not in use.
The ventilated switch box is generously louvered for air circulation for the long life of the electrical components. Yet dust is kept to a minimum.
The firing chamber is 18 inches wide x 18 inches deep x 22.5 inches high.
A stand, door elements, with a safety switch, Orton kiln vent, data port and auxiliary output are available as add-on options. Shown with optional stand.
