I just unloaded the kiln,  cone 9 down top and bottom.  Pot closest to flue exit  was under fired and it looks like heavy reduction all over.  I fired up to red heat with propane and then used waste oil nozzles which were hard to adjust for a neutral flame and temperature rise.  The suction nozzles needed only 1 or 2 psi.  I used about 20 lbs of propane and about 6 gallons of used motor oil.  the pots were single fired with mostly a simple ash glaze. I think the fire box is a little small for the oil burner since I immediately had a 12 to 18 inch flame coming out.
