Hello all...

this is in responce to firing fast in an electric kiln....
I do not preheat over night......
But i have found that if i try to fire too fast there will be a whole cone
difference between the outer end of the shelf and the middle of the shelf....
this has to do with the way the heat moves from the elements to the pots....
In a bisque firing that is no big deal.. but if you are firing a glaze firing
you may not want that......
I fire as fast as i think i can......
