Oh, Phil you do make me laugh!
Did you know you can also use a canary to check kiln temperatures?
Chirping: kiln below
100F
No chirping, wings fluttering: temp over 100F
Singeing of feathers: temp over 500F
Canary immediately bursts into flames: temps over 1000F
Canary instantaneously becomes
"charcoal on a stick" : check glazes for
maturity.
These potters are professionals... do not try this at home kids.
ROFL

without inflicting serious damage...to me

Then too, one could allways tie a Canary on the end of a
stick...poke around, see what it does...if it wilts, might
want to ckeck it out further with a Kitchen Match or
something...the leak I mean, not the Canary...
Just a thought...
Too, for some reason, many Propane Jugs, or maybe their
regulators, when the Tank is almost empty, will leak, ever
so slightly...
