Note
It has been found that a kiln controller will give greater heat work as the temperature
increases. Therefore to achieve a stoneware firing of cone 8-9 we suggest setting the
final soak temperature to 1235°C. A slight adjustment can then be made after the first
firing. It should be remembered that kiln controllers are indicators of temperature and
the effects of faster or slower firings may cause extreme variations in the end result.
This is known within ceramics as "heatwork". Cones are measures of heatwork and it
is strongly recommended that cones are always used in conjunction with a kiln
controller to appreciate the differences between heatwork and temperature indicated
by the controller. Stoneware firings will also demonstrate the greatest potential
differences between heatwork and indicated temperature.
