Hi, Clayarters,

Some of you have reported on reduction firing at cone 6. I would be =
curious to know: What pattern of oxidation and reduction do you practice =
in your firing? That is, at what point(s) do you reduce, and when do =
you return to oxidation?

I used to fire in oxidation up to ^01 or so (just guessing
by color) and then fire with medium reduction 'til ^6
started bending, then oxidize for another 15 minutes or
so just before shutting down.
