I wish to thank everyone who responded, on list and in private, to my post
regarding the problems we are having with this kiln. We are currently in
contact with the kiln mfg. trying to resolve this problem.
Thanks again!

I have a question about Blue Diamond kilns. We have been using ( or trying
to) a large oval Blue Diamond kiln for ^6 firings. This Kiln has been
steadily becoming slower and slower reaching cone. The last firing it took
over 24 hours and still slightly underfired. It doesn't matter if the kiln
is loaded heavy or light. A company rep. said that the kiln should fire in
12-14 hours, and that seemed to be the case with the first few firings.
We have moved the kiln as close to the transformer as possible (6') , this
seemed to help for a while, but didn't last. The kiln is only 8 mo. old and
has been fired appx. once a week, so elements should not be a problem.
We are at the end of our patience with this kiln, The company has been
little or no help, the last call met with the response "we've done all we
can" .
Have any of you had any experience with this kiln co. or had any symptoms
similar to this?
