CilleyCeramics Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi there, So I think I've officially made my first huge kiln mistake.... Somehow this morning when I started a glaze firing in my classroom (to 03) I managed to set the kiln on HIGH not low...... HOW THE HECK DID I MANAGE TO DO THIS?! Anyways.... The kiln was on high until I went to turn it up about 2 hours later..... I have turned it back down to medium at this point. Is all hope totally lost?

Mark C. Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think you may be fine-just finish fire like regular. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I agree. Since you were starting from cold , it shouldn't have been to shocking. Finish as usual. Let us know how it turns out. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 As long as everything was bisqued already you should have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffCenter Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 As everyone said above, there should be no problem. Unless there are problems, you have just learned how to fire your kiln correctly. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 i noticed that my kiln goes off with the sitter and the knobs are all on high when that happens. i am careful to take them back to off when i open the kiln. maybe yours was on high from a previous firing. all is well.
