    Small kilns often fire faster than large kilns, especially when using mechanical switches. As long as there are no problems with your glazes, everthing is fine. If you notice any bubbling or pinholing in your glazes then you may not be bisque firing effectively. Your best option in that case is to bisque hotter, as high as cone 03, to make sure everything gets burned out.


    I am on this site looking for solutions to my pin-holing problems. I have an old small manual Skutt and a newer Cress. In both I try to bisque fire to ^04 for glazes designed for ^5-6. I'm mostly using Standard Clay 182 (a white stoneware) and 112 (a brown with manganese). Am I to understand that bisque firing to ^03 may help? It won't make the pot too tight? to absorb the glaze? Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well ...
