Third firing of the Solstice kiln

Pots in kiln following 3rd firing of Solstice KilnAbout 100 pots of varying size were fired last week with mixed results (see larger image). The temperature got very hot at the front & top (cone 10 flat) but was a little cool at the bottom (cone 8 bending). The was probably due to the kiln props holding the first set of shelves being too short preventing sufficient circulation of air & flame.  The result was some underfired work at the bottom of the kiln and some bloated pots at the front & top.
