Thanks for the comment Min. I'm familiar with segments you mentioned, and understand there's no "one size fits all" for a slow cooling routine; so to try and bound the context of my question I'm limiting myself to the Skutt "cool" function which only allows for a single segment. So my question really has two parts: Is there a good single segment cooling function? What does that look like in practice when entering it on the controller? The goal here is really just a test run and to dip my toes before writing custom firing / cooling segments. I've spent the majority of my years firing wood kilns so wrapping my head around surface effects in an electric kiln is the path I'm on. ------------------------- And thanks for the eye candy Peter, I'd been looking at that article and it was definitely a motivator to test out slower cooling!

Hello all, I have a Skutt KM1027-3 which still has the optional "slow" cooling parameter that can be appended to the firing schedule. When activate this function will take 3 parameters: Rate, Temp, and Hold. I am wondering if anyone here can give me any advice or suggestions for what those three values should be? This will be my first time using this function in this kiln so any guidance would be appreciated. I am doing a ^6 fire and am interested in exploring the effect of a slower cool on the glazes. Thanks in advance.
