Firing Logs

The Purpose of a Firing Log

Recording each firing helps ensure consistency, troubleshoot issues, and optimize firing schedules for better results. A firing log allows you to:

  • Maintain consistency – Repeat successful firings with accurate records.
  • Diagnose problems – Identify causes of defects like pinholing or underfiring.
  • Extend kiln life – Spot maintenance needs before serious issues arise.
  • Improve results – Fine-tune firing schedules for better glaze and clay performance.
