Hey Teri,
I fire saggars to between 1600 and 1700 in my Olympic updraft raku kiln. =
I start with a gentle low burner to 500 and then turn up the burners =
slightly every 7 minutes after that until I reach 1600. I then hold =
between 1600 and 1700 for 20 minutes at which point I shut everything =
down and allow it all to cool until I can touch the kiln with my =
unprotected hand...usually the next day. Hope this helps.
Peace,
