On the top shelf one piece exploded. But the rest survived. Also on top the cone holder turned black along with the cones. Can someone please help with advice? Thank you so much! What size breaker? What settings were the kiln switches on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 (Just a reminder it only going to cone with NEW elements and new wiring-its really a bisque kiln or low fire) ,this was mentioned back on this thread in 2019 I owned one of these for 30 years-bisque kiln .Cone 6 is Max temp and that really overrating it as they did back in the 70s when this was made Bisque glazes pots rarely ever blow up.Was that greenware? Black cones suggests smoke? Smoke suggest organics in fire? all switches on low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
