I like the camera view and luckily it doesn't make me sick with too much movement as others do. BTW, you connect so well with the camera that I've never felt it was static even on the tripods.
Hey Jess, Justed to thank you for your help in getting me straight on my clay that was still porus after cone 6 firing and getting mold and staining. I was using Amaco 38 which NOW I'm told should be fired higher than cone 6. Anyway, I ordered new clay from Sheffield pottery in Mass. and will begin working with that. Thanks again for your reply with great info. You're a master.
I pointed a WiFi camera at my kiln so not only can I watch it on the app but I can check on it visually. I also put a WiFi thermometer a few feet from the kiln so I can monitor room temp as well. Makes it really easy to frequently “check in” on the firing.
@@JessicaPutnamPhillips bisque is ok cone 5 runs a bit hot towards cone 6 but I don’t have venting so keep one peephole open during fire. Still learning only done two glaze n 3 x bisque fires to date but I’m loving it and watching clayshare live at 5 n prime. Just got my latest hibiscus rolling pin from you excited to use that soon ❤️
It’s so tiny, oh I wish we had these in the uk, I have to wait until Iv got a few bits before I can fire my l n l 18s because I would never fire my kiln just for test tiles
This is a great test kiln or for someone who only makes small things. I always recommend that before buying a kiln you think about 1. Your pottery needs( what size pots you make or plan to make) 2. Your electrical budget 3. Your financial budget That combined with a few discussion with a knowledge kiln rep will help guide folks to the right kiln for them.☺️
@kateturner: It seems huge compared to the Olympic HB84 I've been using since 2010. I don't know whether it's the greater volume, superior insulation, or improved wear resistance that pleases me most.

I’m so glad I was able to help!☺️
Great tester size!...and jewellery firings!
Perfect little test kiln and I love how easy it would be to move if you need to!

Yes! I do the same. Such a great way to monitor a firing!☺️
I kept saying, "Push the GRAPH button!"
lol, I wish I had done that for the video! Next time for sure!
That ticking noise we can hear in the video , is that from the kiln? Just worried if I get it it might annoy me haha
That is the sound of the relays in the kiln. It’s a good sound because it means the kiln is working! 😁
My L n L 18s in the U.K. is push buttons. We don’t have this style kiln so I can only do slow or fast, no medium option ❤
How are your firings? If everything is working for you then no need to change a thing.☺️

It is great for test pieces, maybe they will start to sell them in the UK!☺️
FANCY
How many mugs would you be able to fit in a glaze firing do you you think?
3 average sized mugs would fit or if you made some tall skinny ones you could maybe get 4 in it.☺️
Do you kiln wash your shelf too?
Yes, I did.☺️
It's so tiny! I wonder if folks will regret spending money on it instead of saving for a larger one.

I rent, so changing electrical for a big kiln is not an option. I definitely won't regret. Hopefully someday I'll have my own house👌🏻
@@anonumosGirl best of luck to you!!

@@kateturner7122 thank u, u too!
How long does it take to fire something?
This kiln can get to cone 10 in 5-6 hours if you want to but I usually go a bit slower at around 9-10 hours
How much will it cost to run?
Until I put in the rate per hour I won’t know but I’m guessing about $10 per firing for a small kiln like this but it could be less.
Hi I want one for testing
They are great for testing!
@@JessicaPutnamPhillips How can I get one
