I made some progress with the kiln setup. I cut a hole in the lid to improve the air draw and venting, and I fixed the pyrometer. The new pyrometer came without documentation, and not only had a resistor with a broken lead, but it had a jumper that had to be removed before it was operational! I got the kiln temperature up to 1650F, and it ran best with only one burner firing. I think this means that I have inadequate gas volume. My next step is to connect it to a larger supply line, and get it to burn hotter, and on both burners.
