Hello,

>>The Kiln Sitter will not function if the kiln is not fairly level. If
>>the kiln leans away from the side the Kiln Sitter is on the sitter can
>>"hang" and not drop the hammer when the cone bends. The other thing
>>to do is make sure that the cone does not come in contact with the
>>ceramic portion of the Kiln Sitter inside the kiln. This can cause the
>>cone to resist bending.

>>The little metal cone rests can be "dirty" with melted bits of cone on
>>them, or they can be bent downward. They can be cleaned with a flat
>>file. Take them out of the ceramic tube and lay then on a flat surface
>>and file them until they are shiny. If they are too thin or bent
>>replace them.

>>Orton cones have never varied more than one degree + or - since they

>>there must be a simple (relatively) explanation.

>>Of course YMMV (Your mileage may vary or is your coneage may vary)
