LOL- well I opened the kiln this am at promply 6 to find that all the lil asses had made it thru their first firing~
Talk about a sigh of relief!!
I just needed to come here and let the blog know. I get so uptight and woried about firings for some reason... My mud cooker is of the older variety, no expensive digital thingy here. It needs to be mothered and babied and taken care of to the point where I can't leave it alone .
I'm better the last few times with it,But one never knows if the cone that shuts the lil cooker off will be a good one. a few years back I had a huge Kiln that I used. It took the same cones and after about 5 hours I started to worry that I had a problem with it. It was so warm in my ceramic studio that things looked rather hot. It felt like a sauna with no moist air. I decided to manually shut it off an wait till the next day was hard for me to see what had really happened. Here when I opened up the lid everything that was normally 12 inches tall had melted to the point of an undetectable mass...
It was a scary day-LOL
My 18 inch cat bank had shrunk and turned into ashes......
