Hi FFS: Here’s a question for you all that I didn’t know where else to ask! I have my first own studio and am learning my way through firing my own kiln, mixing glazes etc. I haven't fired a bisque yet! Also I'm a big fan of the FFS podcast! On the podcast Matt said that he always bisques to cone 08, and the key to choosing a bisque temperature is consistency not what cone you fire to. I’m using a cone 6 red-brown stoneware (4D3B from Sheffield Pottery). I have read that it is a good idea to fire red stoneware to 04, to burn off impurities and avoid possible glaze pinholing. I would love to fire to 06 or 08, to use less electricity and have a shorter firing. So the questions is: does Matt’s position on bisqueing to 08 apply to red stoneware? Thanks so very much! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
