Bisque firing overnight
I started the kiln at 7 when the rates went down, closed the lid at 10, and set the alarm for 1am and 4 am.
I slept thru the 1am when the alarm didn't go off. I woke up at 5am, turned it up to medium. Then at 7 when the rates went up I turned it up to high.
Shoot. So it will run for about 2 hours till its done.
There was some questionable clay in the batch, some plaster from disintegrating batts may have been in them. So I fired it with few pots and three plates, hoping if one exploded it would only wreck what was on the shelf beside it.
We shall see!
