BLUE DIAMOND KILN SETTING INFORMATION NEEDED

Recommended Posts

I have never used a Blue Diamond kiln although I have others.  Please explain how to use the upper and lower control units.  The middle cone sitter is made by Skutt and that isn't a problem for me.  It is a 4 section kiln and I have never used one with 3 control boxes.  Would appreciate an explanation since I am supposed to use this at the local senior center

Fire it just like any other manual kiln. Put all 3 sections on Low for 1-2 hours, Medium for an hour, then High until the cone drops. If you need to dry things out, crack the lid and set the bottom section to low for a few hours or even overnight. Looks like the top ring is a blank ring without elements, which may lower the max temp that the kiln can reach. If you're just firing to low fire temps it'll be fine.
