a couple of thoughts:

it is important to fire down your gas/electric.
the rapid cooling of these kilns will cause you to
lose some of your color, or reduction effects.

just turn on the electric at about 1800 and re heat
for about 15 minutes on high...(experiment)

if you have the ramp system, will you can let it fire down slowly.

most who are building these kilns are starting with older kilns,
adding new coils, fixing up...so not likely to have electronics.
