Using the delay start can be a useful tool when firing your kiln. This can allow you to start a firing early in the morning so it will be finished early in the evening. Just in time for you to be there when it finishes and leave the studio on time.

While the delay start is a great tool, we always recommend you be there toward the end of the firing when the kiln is at it's hottest temperatures. Using a controller doesn't guarantee the kiln won't over fire if an issue arises. That is why it's always best to be there for the firing of your kiln.

WARNING: Never leave your kiln unattended near the end of a firing. We cannot guarantee your kiln against over firing even though the controller is automatic.
