Not a very happy sight...the sustained high temperatures making BioGlass caused one of the heating elements to burn out and crack the kiln roof. Now it is all hanging down and even though the side elements still work it cannot be used until Frank comes back.
I have been really happy with Woodrow Kilns where I bought the kiln 7 years ago. They are sensible, attentive and responsive. So we are going to replace the element and pin the roof up so that it all works again without a complete roof rebuild.
Good chance to refine the schedules to reduce strains and get some ceramic pieces that have been lying about the studio finally fired.
