Re: Kiln Cooling

The kiln insulation is adequate--you should always wait to crack the kiln
open till below 500 degrees (or when paper ignites...).  If you wait
15-20 hours, you won't even need to crack it open.  I've fired hundreds of
cone 10 electric kilns in northern winter conditions...  The worst is
leaving it too long to cool and unloading a bunch of ice cube pots...
