Arnold and others familiar with firing a manual A99-B. I am doing a
slow firing to cone 06 in the sitter with pieces that may not be
totally bone dry. I have decided to run the bottom element on low for
2 hours then raise all three elements one position each hour. Is this
likely to cause hot spots anywhere? I do have the recommended firing
schedule posted next to the kiln.

Danke,

I don't think running the bottom element on low for two
hours will cause uneven firing.
