I have used a variety of wind up timers and a wrist watch alarm to help
me remember to check on a firing or check on other things that might
slip my mind. As I get older, it seems even more important to make the
use of a timer habit. Today I found a really nice timer at Williams
Sonoma. These have been around for a few years I think. It's
electronic and goes up to 10 hours. It's very easy to set. It's
small, light, and can clip on your belt or you can stick it on anything
steel with it's little magnet. At $15 I bought it without a second
thought. Now, where did I put that thing?

I use the countdown timer on my digital watch. If you want to check on your
kiln every hour, then adjust the countdown timer for 60 minutes. After the
alarm goes off, press the reset, then start buttons. The timer will begin
counting down 60 minutes again.
Cheap digital watches are a marvel of technology.

Arnold:
And, for those of us that can't/won't/don't wear a timepiece, or
carry an hourglass
most cell phones also have an alarm clock function.
Best,

I never seem to be where the timer is so I have one of the Polder timers. I
use it for remembering to cover work that I've been letting sit out to dry a
bit but needs to be covered and for anything that needs to be timed. When it's
around your neck, it's hard to miss it.
