Last night I sat and nursed the kiln for about 2 hours. Burnt the sensor on the pyrometer as I was testing the temp too often. Top temp was 1630F.

This is the first batch and a bit of a woopsie so they are back in the kiln tonight for more firing. The edges are too rough and need to be more rounded. My first batch on randomness LOL.

You learn by your mistakes.

Those look so pretty! Hard to believe they have to be refired. I bet you're really enjoying the new kiln, even more so now that you've done your first firing. Have fun!
A great first step. And I did laugh when I saw you hugging the fire extinguisher! Apologies.
Wow...that's so exciting. I really would LOVE to get a kiln someday.
Wow those look great! You're going to love that kiln.
