vent firing

If you are running a vent keep it running for the
entire firing until the kiln reaches it temperature.
(I see you say your not able to get there) The
warranty if I remember correctly is the vent shouldn't
be turned off until its in the cooling phase at 1000 F
or below.

If you like, send me more information or the group and
we all can take a shot in the dark on the temperature
issue. Someone may have already hit the mark since I
am late reading this.
