Robert, I have sent Adelaide an email asking her to let me know when this problem has been resolved. It is a very unusual problem, so from my perspective it is an interesting one. Feel free to contact me if you need to.

Sincerely,

A new controller and new thermocouple have been installed.

The problem appears to be where the thermocouple passes into the chamber, the heating element was touching the thermocouple in two places. I was sent a ceramic sleeve to isolate the thermocouple but that didn't help, It only takes a bit longer for the ceramic to heat up and transfer the heat.

feel free to call me, Adelaide has my #.

Thanks,

Robert.

Adelade knows the whole story.

Thanks,

Robert Archer.

I'm sorry your kiln misfired. It sounds like a defective thermocouple. --Arnold Howard
