LuLa,

Sorry to hear about your Betty exploding...that was some DAMN fine work. Maybe try candling the kiln a little longer. I feel it's all in how you reach that first 200 degrees in the kiln that makes the difference. Seg 1 - 50 degrees to 180 - hold 10 to 12 hours - keep lid propped open. This seems to help me quite a bit when firing a piece that has very different thicknesses.

Hope you do more of these. Very nice indeed!
