Here's the response I got from Tom:
>>Hi Bill, I bisque at 012. My pots are thin and if I bisque higher, there =
is
not enough absorbancy. My last large piece I did bisque at 06 and downfired
through quart inversion, as my big pieces were dunting in cooling. Seemed t=
o
work. But all my other pots are 012. Bisque temp is about strength and
absorbancy, not what the book says. Every body could require a different te=
mp.
My porcelain starts to sinter earlier thn others for some reason. Lower bis=
ques
take less time and less electricity.
