This is for a Cone-Art 2818D kiln with an exhaust fan on at start of firing.
If the kiln is full, do the first step overnight, 10 hours or more (electric kilns have poor ventilation, this step is needed to drive out all residual or remaining water from body and glaze.
Include step 4 and 5 if you are firing matte glazes (that need to crystallize) or reactive glazes that need to variegate (form multiple phases) and crystallize.
This firing assumes that a good bisque has been done.
If Cone 6 has fallen too much copy the top temperature in all three ramps 10 degrees F:
-Change top temperature in R4 to 1723F
-Change top temperature in R5 to 2155F
-Change top temperature in R6 to 1885F
If cone 6 still does not fall (e.g. you fire heavy loads), increase the hold time in R5 by 5 minute increments.
The rate at the end of the fired is derived by subtracting 240C from the final temperature and firing at 60C/hr from there. Out Bound Links
