Cone Fire–Medium
Medium is the speed you will probably
use for your firings of cast earthenware
and low-fire glazed pieces. It will take
approximately 7.5 hours* to fire. The actu-
al time is dependent on the selected cone
value. Use this speed when the kiln is
packed tighter or your greenware has
thicker sides or a higher moisture content.
If you were to program the segments for
this firing, they would look like the chart
at right.
The graph at right illustrates the seg-
ments of a cone 04 firing in Cone Fire
mode, medium speed. The firing will take
approximately 7.5 hours to complete. The
heating rates are the same for all cones.
The temperature in segment 4 is 250˚ less
than the final temperature for the cone.
