Paragon GF-6B Glass Fusing Kiln

Our first glass fusing kilns, the GF-series, have passed the test of time since 1985. They helped start the glass fusing revolution. The GF-6B is one of those kilns. The switch-operated GF-6B has been replaced by the digital Fusion-6.

“I’ve fired your kilns all over the country during my seminars. I never hear complaints about your kilns. They are reliable and last a hell of a long time.” —The late Dan Fenton, who lived in Oakland, California

The GF-6B manual-fire kilns uses an infinite control switch. It comes with a safety pilot light.

The GF-6B lid elements use a new element groove that eliminates element pins. The element coils are wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place without pins.

  • Pinless heating elements in lid
  • Chain lid support on the GF-6B
  • Galvanized steel base
  • Reversible brick bottom
  • Heavy-duty stand with mar-proof plastic feet
