I have been firing a Skutt 1027KM for a year now in my studio to cone 10.
Sometimes cone 8 and 9 if the mood strikes me. (love experimenting with the
glazes). I have an Orton Envirovent that is vented to the outside via a =
side
wall. There is nothing on that side of the studio and I haven't noticed any
birds falling out of the trees. And the spider population inside the studio =
has
either adapted to any escaping fumes(if any at all) or the little rascals =
are
wearing gas masks=21=21 And I too, like Earl Brunner, fire throught the =
night. I
leave all peepholes plugged up through entire firing(except of course when
peeping). I do this because the instructions that came with the vent system
says to. So far I have been pleased with all the firings. Now and then I =
have
something weird happen, but usually it is my combination of glazes that =
cause
any problems I may have. Earl, I'll back you up, you are not an idiot, in =
my
humble opinion.
Sheron Roberts in NC where the heat index is 115 and my daughter in Alaska =

complaining about their 70 degree weather being too hot. I should make her =
