About how long did it take to reach cone 6 in your kiln? I have a similar model and it doesn’t take nearly as long as what many others have said about their glaze fires (different brands and styles of kilns). I’m worried that mine is heating up too fast. Wonder if that’s a problem? The pieces are coming out nicely but I don’t want to damage my kiln if it’s running hot for some reason. The last 2 glaze fires I’ve done have only been about 4-5 house , and both were to come 6. I do turn on all my switches at once but that’s the only difference in what I did compared to your video.
Hey! Mine heated up really fast too! I slowed mine down by turning on one switch at a time every two hours. I think 4-5 hours is a fast glaze fire. Some glazes will be fine but others need to go a little slower. I shoot for a 8-10 hour glaze fire. Hope that helps!
@@lowco_ceramics yes it does! Thank you! I opened my glaze fire this morning and the witness cones showed that it got at least to a 7. Not sure why the sitter cone didn’t slump sooner. I may move to a 5 for the sitter cone if it continues to fire hot but my first step is definitely to ramp it up slowly and see if that helps.
