Sorry moderators, I initially posted this in Studio Operations and Making Work but I think it belongs here. I can't delete the other post.
I have read posts here and elsewhere and I know @neilestrick recommends a a slow bisque to cone 5 with a 3 hour preheat but I saw a very recent video from L&L instructing to program a glaze fire at medium speed to 04 with a 1 hour preheat. https://hotkilns.com/support/pottery-kiln-videos-links/first-firing-ll-kiln-genesis-control
There is also a video that shows firing a new L&L Glaze to Cone 5 at Medium Speed https://www.clayshare.com/firing-your-l-l-kiln-for-the-first-time/videos/gf11-01
So what is it? lol.
I have an Easy Fire 23-S with Genesis controller.
As an aside, I have put 2 coats of kiln wash on the shelves and plan to put the third after the first fire. This was recommended somewhere... Anything wrong with this?
Thanks!
