Well i just unloaded my old Alpine 24 with the Venturi burners. Good firing
all and all. I had some oxidation on the bottom but i will take down some bag
wall.

The Axner Probe worked on Temperature but would not give me a reading on
atmosphere.It is going back.

My new kiln shed DID NOT burndown. Amy Parker and i discussed that
possibility.My Alpine is a up draft pig.

> my new axner probe worked great the first two
firings and then would not show an atmosphere reading
on the third. we called axner during the firing and
he said it was most likely a loose connection where
the wires plug into to meter. i pulled the red,green
and black plugs - blew into the holes and reinserted
the plugs. it worked! i had about given up and was
ready to send it back, also hoping it continues.>good
luck
