this kiln load kept me up at night.
to get this baby hooked up in my new studio, I had to convert it from 3-phase to single phase, which means basically everything inside it is brand new, so when it didn’t get to temp after 6 months of consistent firings I was stressing. My magical electrician neighbor came to my rescue and discovered something not quite right in the breaker panel, replaced it, and I went on my merry way and started it up again. But NO. The firing failed just before cone 6. So theeeen I called for more help, replaced the thermocouple, re-crimped some elements, and ran a test firing. Soooo we’ll see how it did today! 🤞
