Had an unusually successful firing this last time, mostly, I think, because I stopped trying to fiddle with it to improve the atmosphere, or the fuel efficiency, or whatever. Finished promptly a little after 6 pm, top still a little hotter than the bottom, but not excessively so, and when I opened it up Wednesday evening, there were a couple of light zones, but no terribly over-reduced ones. And though two pasta bowls developed cracked rims, I still had three octopus and three crabs to fill my gallery order. Hustled them out Wednesday night and took them home to pack and ship Thursday morning, to arrive at Olympia before the Monday deadline.
