Sitter
Explanation by William " Bill " Schan is quite simple and logical and I am
sure I will be able achieve better results by witness cone rather than
relying merely on Kiln Sitter. It means I will have to go up
and down in to my basement a few more times for each firing and this what I
have been avoiding but I am going to do it Now. I am really very much
satisfied with the explanation and proud to be one of the members of this
forum. Asim mahnmood.
