Ok. So I did my first glaze firing in the new kiln. So, new for ME and new for the KILN.
It's an L&L, I used the computer setting for slow glaze, cone 6, BUT.......
The cones show just how hot it was..........So where do I go from here?
Luckily the pots are all fine, a little shinier then usual but that is all. The manual mentions a factory set calibration....that in some cases that needs adjustment. What do ya'll think??????

So, i think you have some wicked wolf fangs there girl!!! LOL. Google it! It's amazing what is out there.
We program to a temperature rather then a cone.
I fire my tiles to 2190-hold 15 then back fire a bit.
I found a true cone 6 too hot.
Guess that the cones alone are a bit TOO HOT????!!!:) Glad that the pots are ok- everything has a learning curve, especially new equipment!!!!!
Thanks Meredith. Betsy Krome suggested shooting for a slow cone 5 next time.....
I have a friend that has a new L&L and she had to get them to help her over the phone calibrate it. Took her a couple of firings to get it right. I have a gas kiln and know nothing, but I do know this is what she did. I do know that at the community studios I have worked at we programed the kilns for slow ^5 to get a true ^6, go figure....
Thanks Tracey!
