I wonder if there is some sort of add-on device that would be a shutoff if the temp got to be more than your holding temperature?

Kathy, according to Paragon site, the roof of your kiln isn't fiber brick but ceramic fiber board. So no, it doesn't retain heat as well as a fully fiber brick lined kiln such as a Glass Hive.

Firebrick Walls and Floor, Ceramic Fiber Roof

The BlueBird XL has durable insulating firebricks in the walls and floor. The element is mounted in the roof and embedded between two layers of ceramic fiber board. This reduces dust inside the kiln.
