They do removed pots and put them in combustables. That is not
where the shock to the ware comes from. What they don't do is put the
work hot into water. You can do a lot to protect the integrity of the
vessel by not quenching it in water.
High fire work, cone 10 seger and above is also pulled out of the kiln
hot. If you think about it, putting pots isn't too different than the
crash cooling that many people on the list like to do. It doesn't harm
the pots either.
