One of the disadvantages of using the university kilns is frequently
my work is fired by someone else. I have this notion that for a glaze
firing, I should set the kiln on slow. Some of the students
responsible for firing want to set the kiln on fast. My thought is
that slow allows for the glaze to do all the things it needs to do.
Have I intuitively managed to get it right? Or have I developed a
theory that has no basis in fact?
Many thanks.

This is such a general question I'd suggest you study up on firing stages and schedules. John Britt's book "Complete guide to High-Fire Glazes" has a good section on firing schedules. Great book by the way, thanks John! There's lots available, study up.
