flyemma Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone who works with a small 12 in by 12 in kiln with a kiln sitter (even heat model k-810) had any recommendations for it. Ive never used one and getting to the correct cone 5 is a little hard (bisque is fine), Im also trying to find out a rough estimate of how long it might take it to reach? The cones I don't feel like Im using correctly or I just won't reach temp. anyone having any tools they recommend for measuring the temp as it goes without having to wire something in??

neilestrick Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Any digital pyrometer will work. Just stick the thermocouple in the spy hole. It will show you how fast it's climbing, but cones are the only way to be sure of heat work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewV Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Your kiln really isn't designed to fire to ∆5. It is rated to cone 5 but that has come to mean under perfect conditions. This kiln was made with china painting and other low-fire work in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
