plugging kiln...

I remember reading (years ago) in one of my electric kiln manuals, that
leaving the top plug of the kiln open ensured an oxygen atmosphere, and
would extend the life of the elements. As these are school kilns, I cannot
replace elements myself when needed(budgets and district liability big
factors). So, anything which might extend the life of kilns is worth a try.
If anyone knows differently, please tell.
