I buy from http://www.americanceramics.com/
They sell everything under the sun. If you have a re-sale number you get =
a discount.

Jeanie - Gosh, can't find anything online? What were you searching for?
Entering key words: "how to fire kiln", I found the following:

http://www.hotkilns.com/fire-manual-kiln.html (L&L site)

http://www.dalzell.net/ceramics/firingtips2.htm (many links to Orton firing
tips).

Perhaps if you would post back with more information about your kiln and
some specific questions we could help better.

DO NOT OPEN A KILN THAT IS FIRING. IT COULD BE DISASTEROUS.

I suggest subscribing to Fired Arts & Crafts magazine and finding a local
ceramics class. Visit the Paragon website, click on Distributors, and enter
your zip code.
