Mark C. Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I wrote a piece years ago on tumble stacking but if your kiln is another shape beside an electric you should stuff it also during bisque. I use porcelain so I do not have trouble with burn out issues when packed tight. I try to use all my space in a bisque-My car kiln is almost 6 feet tall (I’m in shot for scale at 6 feet tall) It is 3 shelves deep 12x24 advancers. This was Sundays load which turned into a glaze load in this kiln and another glaze load in my small 12 cubic foot updraft-I also did an electric bisque on Sunday so I have two small kilns worth of glaze pots now. I do most bisquing in this car kiln but when scheduling or needs demand it I will use an electric (old school skutt 1226). The point here is stuff your loads if your clay can take it. I can get a small kiln and a car kiln glaze load from one single bisque in this car kiln when stuffed full like this. Of course every load has different forms and bowls and such nest better than say mugs. Happy bisquing. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugaboo Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 LOL I was thinking the same thing, with my luck there'd be one bobble and the whole thing would come down on me! Amazing Mark, you are a true inspiration. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
