Well, not the way I was planning to start my first holiday sales season in years. At least there's enough little pieces I can make a start. #pottersofbluesky #kilnfail #pottery #mishaps #kilnsgonewrong

I’m not sure you are on FB but there’s a group there where the guy helps figuring out what happened in this kind of situation. Groups is called: Tim See’s Kiln and Firing Help

I'll definitely have to check it out! She's an old kiln, just three knobs for Lo, Med and High so it's been a process trying to figure out how to manually run everything without a program.

I had an old kiln like yours and found a program for it. It worked well and I may have it in case you want to check. It’s an old Paragon and I fired to cone 6 without problems (3 knobs, low, medium high). Let me know

That would be great! Mine is a Skutt 231X bisque seems to be going okay, and my first glaze fire worked out for the most part, I'm going to paper test the elements again, I replaced a few but it's possible the others are out now too. I'm also firing to 6

Found it! Let me know if you can understand. First line tells you what needs to be done when you start and after one hour for each step. Ex: you start with lid vented, bottom peephole in (I had 3), bottom switch on low and top switch on low; 2nd hour: you change bottom switch to medium…etc
