To Francie and others who use sitters to fire:
Save that little metal template that came with the sitter. It's
necessary to get a good adjustment.
Now, what you don't want to hear - quit using the sitter to fire the
kiln. Use the sitter as a back-up. Use witness cones, a pack of
three, for every firing! For your first few firings, put a cone pack
on every shelf, at every level to get a good sense of how even/uneven
the heat is in the kiln. Using witness cones is the only way to
achieve consistent results.
