marathon car kiln

We're talking here about a 64 cubic foot gas kiln with an attitude! The
last firing resulted in cone 10 at 3 o'clock bottom and middle and cone
9 about 2 o'clock on the top. Friend who "should know" says cut the air
just a little and the flame will reach out more. Only other
consideration is that the bag wall was raised an inch.

We were looking for a soft cone 10 throughout.

Any advice?

Thanks,
MVP

Second thought: a lot of the plates warped-raised up in the middle.
