akilpots Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 I've done 3 cone 6 glaze firings in my l&l easyfire kiln it's over firing by a bit each time consistently and evenly across the kiln. do i use a cone offset for this or the thermocouple offset? how much should it be offset? this is a 5 - 6 - 7 cone pack.

neilestrick Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 If the kiln is firing a little hot at all temps, then do a thermocouple offset, because that will effect all temps. If it's only firing hot at cone 6, then do a cone offset. The other option is to adjust your firing schedule. Based on what the cones are showing, I'd try cone 5 with a 5-10 minute hold. Personally, I'd do a TC offset as a last resort, as it tends to make some things better, some worse. akilpots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that method because it's easy to make small adjustments based on results, especially as the thermocouples wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
