sparky123 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 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.
