One question-did you fire with cones? Oops, another one, is your kiln har=
d brick? Seems like hard brick takes lots longer to get going.
My kiln is just getting up to steam in 7 hours. I usually go 18-20. Faste=
st time was 14 hours on a hot day.
For a beginner there is no better guide than Laid Back Wood Firing by Ste=
ve Harrison. Read it and it will answer all your questions.
I have never used electric to refire but after my first firing I refired =
some pieces (with wood) and they came out great. Once I realized I needed =
to side stoke to get the back up to snuff never had that underfired problem=
again.
Good luck! Firing with wood is always exciting and fun,
