Kiln Firing Log Book — A Potter's Record of Every Firing Every firing tells you something — if you write it down. This 80-page firing log gives you a proper place to keep the record: what went in, how the kiln climbed, what the cones actually read, and what came out the other side. Inside, thirty-two complete firing spreads, each running to two full pages. One side holds the schedule as you programmed it — ramp rates, segment holds, start and end times, room conditions — plus a table for the witness cones and the readings you take as the firing runs. The facing page is where the kiln gives you the answer: a three-shelf load map to sketch exactly what stood where, space for results and observations, what you'd change next time, and a quick verdict on whether the firing is a keeper. Ahead of the first entry, you'll find a kiln specification sheet with room for a full service history, a plain-language guide to reading a cone pack, and a pyrometric cone chart running from 022 to 12 in both °F and °C at two heating rates — the reference you'll actually reach for mid-firing. At the back: four pages of glaze and clay-body recipe sheets recorded in parts by weight, a maintenance log for elements, relays and thermocouples, a troubleshooting guide covering crazing, pinholing, dunting, crawling and more, and blank pages for everything else. Laid out at a generous 8.5 × 11 inches with hand-drawn line illustrations throughout — the kiln, the cones, the wheel, the shelves — this is a working book meant to sit open beside the kiln, not a pretty object kept on a shelf. Whether you fire electric, gas, wood or raku, in a home studio or a shared one, it turns every firing into something you can learn from instead of something you half-remember. A thoughtful gift for any potter, or the log you finally start keeping yourself.
