Speaking of way cool, my kiln is now the opposite of way cool. I turned it on low this morning before going to work. When I got home I went to turn it to high but it was GLOWING HOT from the peephole and it should have only been about 600 degrees in there. Turns out I accidentally set it on high morning and left it there for 10+ hours! It was 2400 degrees in there (cone 10) instead of the 1900 (cone 04) it should have been. Overfired by 13 cones! I guess I will find out in the morning if my test tile is a melted glob at the bottom of the kiln :lol: At least now I know I could do high fire in my electric kiln.
