My buddy fires an updraft kiln at earthenware temps. and is way back =22in
country=22, and is having big trouble with uneven firings. I haven't any
experience with this type kiln and can't help him. What can he do to check =
for
proper operation without losing pots?

It would help to know a little more about his kiln. He should try to distribute
the mass in the kiln evenly and not fire too fast. Also the exit flue might be
open too far.
