My sitter is malfunctioning . I have been using ahair dryer on hi heat & low
air to blow in the peep hole to see the cones. There seems to be no problem
with bisque firing. Will this damage glaze ware? Or cause other problems ?
Thanks, Catherine.

No, it's a technique we often used on our production Kiln.

I believe you are using electric kiln ,

=FC=A2=F0=A2=FA=A2=ED=A2=ED=A1=40holes. put
your cone in the bottom hole location, or the second bottom. When you fire
close to what you want, open the very top one for about a minute. there will
be a draft create between the top =26 bottom hole.
Now you open the second or bottom wherever the cone is . WEAR YOUR SUN GLASS
, you will find that it is much easier to see it.

Catherine,
When you have glaze ware in the kiln and you blow air with a hair dryer or
anything else, your also blowing any small particles around. Sometimes wear
and tear on the soft bricks in the kiln cause little shmegs- thats what i call
them- if your blowing air into the kiln, these shmegs will blow around too and
eventually end up in the middle of a beautiful plate or on the side of an
otherwise perfectly glazed suface on a sculptuire
Trust me I used to do this and always found shmegs only it took me a year or
two to figure out where all these shmegs came from!!!
