My kiln is driving me crazy
I just bought a Jen Ken bead annealer with an ortron controller. I love it but now it dictates when I can torch and for how long. UGH! I used to be able to torch for a few hours take a break then torch again throughout the day. Now I have to wait for it to heat up and then cool down.  Which takes all day so I can't heat it up stop and heat it up again a few hours later! So my torch time has gone down to only a set few hours a day and I'm so sad. HELP PLEASE any suggestions??

I set mine to stay at my hold temp for 14 hours and then just skip step to the annealing hold when I am done torching. Do you know how to skip step? If not, let us know and we will post how to do it  .

Just make sure you have it away from any walls, flammable surfaces etc and it is fine left to finish on its own.
