Hi Tamara,
...about the test firing of the kilns ,I dont think you will get an
accurate reading of how the kilns work if you fire them to cone ten while
theyre empty, they werent designed to be fired empty,and I dont think it
would damage them but(I think) it would take much longer than it should
to reach temprature ,so maybe you should fill the kilns with soft bricks
or pots that have already been fired...just a thought
