hank is the expert.
i just follow his orders.

anyway.
i close the kiln at cone 10.
let it cool to 2000.
turn one burner back on half.
open damper a bit...so that i can
hold the 2000. easy to find the place...watch your
pyrometer.
two hours.
easy.

i am sure that some will want to put it back into light
reduction...should not hurt...but, then, most say
it will not do any good...but, who knows.
someone will do it and get great results.

old alfred porc.
