The lid sat tighter with lesson tension bar. I moved it to the second hole for more tension and the gap was larger. Thess are the picture with more tension.
Congratulations on your new kiln! I also just got my L&L 28S easy fire. Did the test firing.
I noticed after the test fire, my lid gap become so big. I reattached my lid after adjusting the metal plate and tension bar.
even with all the adjustment, I cannot get the lid to sit right. It’s off balanced and won’t close. Did you have any issue with your lid?
