Using Cones to Monitor Temperature in a Kiln: Part 2

Hi I'm Betty Ingham on behalf of Expert Village. We know that it's cone 9 and when cone 9 goes down we know that it is time to open the burners back up. When we open back all 4 burners that really shows that we are going to clean up everything. It is just cleaning all that gas out of there and that carbon that is trap and kind of cleaning up our and then about 30 minutes hopefully cone 10 would go down and we just turn the burners off and it's done. Now this went down this went cone 11 went down a little bit so we really got this pretty hot. We like to have cone 11 to still be sticking straight up. We have done cone 11 and they have been good firing but really the red would run when it gets to hot and some of the other glazes just it is just to hot for some glazes. This is the door that we have to put the brick for our door and what we do is we start, we start with 2 rows and then on the 6th row we do this. So that whole stack of bricks right there is the door and that takes quiet a while.
