Kiln Success

[robby]

I fired it for 5 hours and got it up to 2275 degrees F, which is plenty hot. I think the vent could still be a touch larger. It's taken me months to get to this point. One big step left, is to to lay gas line and set up the kiln in the shed.

For the final test, I fired it for about 2-1/2 hours, using the gas outlet closest to the shed. I got it to 2350 degrees F ,and still rising, when I shut it down. I'm golden and now the pipe run will be minimal.

Damn, man. You know a lot about ceramics. I remember in art class in junior high, we did glaze stuff, but the bottom of a clay mug, say, couldn't have the glaze on it because of how it rested in the kiln. Does that sound familiar at all?
