kiln element question

Jun 30, 2004 1 Replies

How long could I reasonably expect my kiln elements to last. So far I have fired



23 bisque firings upto 1000'C
12 eathenware firings upto 1150'C
18 stoneware firings upto 1265'C

I have noticed that at stoneware temperatures I have to be very careful not to overpack the kiln otherwise it struggles to reach temperature in a reasonable time. But I am sure its getting slower.



Thanks



Kevin


I've been told 100 firings, but I'm sure it varies.
