Reduction firing?

Looking forward to seeing those, Lee.

I'm wondering - charcoal (can you use the stuff for your grill?) will also cause reduced wear on the coils, right?

Hi Marianne

Probably, you can use grill charcoal. What they use here is not briquettes, but it looks like wood. I don't think it would make too much difference.

Like I said, the Japanese kilns are not like ours. The elements are thick and are not damaged by the oxides. I don't think this method would protect coil type elements. People have coated new elements with ITC with some sucesss.
