when its cold out i put a ceramic space heater in my kiln,=20
if the kiln is small enough a 100 watt bulb will do the trick.
i leave all pots in the studio until they are ready to go in the kiln,
no prewadding unless done and dried in studio. glueing=20
of course will keep them on the pot but not from freezing
i have also known folks to build a hot box out of their shelving
by putting up plastic sheeting and then putting in a heater. this way
the pots are right by the kiln and ready to go. one more thing
is to have a way to preheat the kiln before loading, like the weed =
burner
you spoke of, then the kiln is always warm and the wads cant freeze
also its so toasty by the kiln too! good luck
