well ive been busy glazing and loading the old Alpine 24 today.I got finished
around 8:00 PM. I was trying to get the burners to lite and i burned a bunch
of hair on my left hand. It seems that a wasp packed the pilot burner full
and the flames back burnt. It took me a few minutes too figure out what
happened.DUH'!!!!.Any way i now have the kiln on pilot and am going to fire
tomorrow and use my new toy, the Oxy-probe. i hope i can figure it out.
It has been more than a year since i fired in Miami Fla.If any body is in the
Hood come by and visit me and the old kiln.
