When I fire our two small lab test kilns, I always include cones (I fire a dozen temperatures). I want the firing to finish when the cone is around 5- 6 o'clock. To make that happen, I record observations on which to base the temperature I will program for the final step the next time. Where do I record these? In the schedules I maintain in an Insight-live.com account. I use this every day, it is very important because I need accurate firings.
