Rosanna, It was not an epoch, and thanks. You really made me think. I did set a hold, and it did not happen, and the elements did not shut off. I am going to re-read my kiln manual and do a test run. Another question, if some of the pieces had rather large bubbles, and some had smaller ones, can I r...

My second firing is in the my automatic ceramic kiln now. I am doing a full fuse of several pieces all 1/4" thick, some small, and the largest a 5" diameter circle. There is only one shelf in the kiln, it is about 4 inches off the bottom, the thermocouple about an inch above the shelf. The...

Thanks, I have a cone temp chart, but what I am not sure about is how critical that high temp is to the glass. If I set it to 1465, according to System 96 instructions, and it actually goes up to 1500, will there be a problem with the glass. If so, maybe I should set my hi temp to 1400 expecting it ...

Is it a problem if the temp rises higher than the soak temp? If so, should I program to a lower temp expecting it to pass the temp before starting to drop?

Thanks,

Thanks for your replys. The kiln is going. I set a ramp hold program following Spectrums recommended schedule. The high temp was 1465, and the kiln shut off on schedule, but the temp kept rising, so I opened it a crack to flash vent down to 1000. Then, the temp started rising again, so I stopped the...

I am about to start my first fusing project in my Skutt automatic ceramic kiln. I've read all of the posts here, but am still confused. I still have a few specific questions: 1. I have an automatic kiln, so can just fire to cone 016m or program it to follow the System96 standard firing schedule? 2. ...
