How do I fire an electric kiln?

Glaze firing without a vent

As in bisque firing, the kiln lid should be propped for the first few hours, or until the kiln reaches 1000 degrees F. In addition, the top peep hole plug should stay open during the whole firing. (These steps are both unnecessary if firing with a vent).
