Intro

State of the art kiln with digital controller, wifi, and remote monitoring app. Purchased from Runyan Pottery in Clio, Mich.

Guests may only use the kiln if they are under the supervision of members authorized on the kiln. Members assume responsibility for guest usage.

Vent must be turned on for every firing.
Kilns should only be run if full. Less firings means better longevity of the kiln and parts.

If you need to run a kiln but do not have enough work you should post in the slack. Chances are someone might have some stuff they would like to fire as well and Kiln can be shared.
Post: Date of run, Cone temperature, and how much space you will have room for. Set up an arrangement for how you would like to split the cost of kiln use with fellow member(s).

Reserve on the calendar from time of loading kiln to time of unloading.
Please be mindful when firing other users who may have kiln reserved afterwards. Please unload the kiln in a timely manner.
If something arises and you will not be able to unload on time please communicate with whoever has the reservation scheduled after you.

This means - You should not unload someone else's kiln, touch work that is on shelves drying, etc. If it's not yours do not touch it.

The Kiln should NEVER be opened until the temperature has cooled to at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Users must use kiln wash, Kiln-cookie or kiln stilts under any work that could damage Kiln/Kiln Shelves.

If a ceramic piece sticks to a kiln cookie and the kiln cookie is no longer usable. User is responsible for replacing kiln cookies for next members use or paying $2/replacement cookie fee.

Changes to any established settings is not allowed.
Custom firing programs are allowed.
Take great care to avoid hitting thermocouple when moving furniture or loading/unloading pottery.
