How do I fire an electric kiln?

Kiln Sitter

A kiln sitter works as follows: a jr cone of the appropriate number is set inside the kiln sitter box, the cone is held by a retaining bar and a moving rod. When the cone bends (because it has absorbed the correct amount of heat), the rod falls. The rod activates the control mechanism which turns off the current to the coils.
