delkic seems to think that we can fire cone 11 in an hour.
he wanted us to fire the salt kiln at the farm in three hours.
move it right along.
he keeps on yapping that if you have totally dry ware, dry kiln, you can
kick it in the ass as fast as you can.
it is the end and the way down that counts the most for potters.
and, we do take into account tony's feelings about this.
and respect it.
and all we do is not science, a great deal is about our own feelings
of firing a kiln. and that is important. can't change that too often.

sorta like arches, flats, rounds, cants.

Get real Mel !,
If a lowly craft potter could afford computer
controlled pulse burners , yes a kiln could be fired super
quickly . What worries me is the means going to justify the end
?.
