Narelle Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I have some stoneware glaze that I want to put on some bowls and fire to cone 5. All the firing that I have done to date has been to cone 06. Can anyone recommend a good firing schedule for cone 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's got any pre-programmed firings in it, go ahead and use a medium speed cone 5 schedule. If not, you can do something as simple as 325F/hr to 2000F, then 108F/hr to 2165. The standard medium speed firing for L&L/Skutt/Olympic kilns is 150F/hr to 250, 400F/hr to 1915, 120F/hr to 2165. If your work is large or thick, slow it down to 250F/hr.

Babs Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Stoneware glaze. Do you know the cone it matures at? Is your clay ok with goung so high..be written on bag swhere or contact supplier. Tetlow...Australia? I go if glazed pots dry 100degC/hr to 600degC 150degCc/hr to 1100degC Then 80degC/hr to cone5 touches its toes . I then hold for about 15mins. Have you got a kilnsitter? What max temp for your kiln?
