You can also try a "candling" program. I run the kiln at 180 degrees for 8 hours. Do not go above 212 degrees (boiling temperature), and be aware of any offsets your kiln may have. Make sure your work is not too thick. Sometimes I touch the piece to my face and if it feels cool I let it sit for a while longer. It's humid now in Indiana, I can't imagine what you go through in Florida!
