Manual Kiln bisque schedule
This is a typical firing schedule for a bisque firing in a manual kiln.
Bottom switch on low for several hours if necessary (candling).
Turn on all switches to low for 3-4 hours.
Turn all switches to medium for 3-4 hours.
Turn all switches to high until kiln has reached temperature.
(Note, if your kiln has multiple sections, you may turn them up individually if you want slower heating.)

With so much concern about electricity usage and cost, I'm interested in knowing if there truly is a rationale for candling, other than drying damp work, or for very large pieces? I do my bisqueloads without it. But have continued candling for glaze loads? Is it really necessary?
