Are any two kilns are exactly alike?

Using medium setting on electric kilns

The medium heat setting on your kiln will build-up the temperature in the kiln, but as it is an uneven heating, it should be used only for equalizing the temperature in a one switch kiln. In two switch kilns, use medium for building up the temperature gradually through the middle range, but always in a sequence that will keep the bottom of the kiln hotter than the top.
