Cone 10 ready for Liftoff

I must be streamlining my glazing because I am a day ahead of schedule. That said, I'm not sure why I never have my cone packs made ahead of time. Mr Coffee to the rescue.

I'll candle tonight and then start firing around 4am. Jay has to be in Marshall by 5am, so lucky me I can get an early start. I'm going to change up my firing a little to get more reduction this time. Might try Val Cushing's method of using only the damper after starting reduction. It's worth a try. Most of my glazes look good in moderate reduction, but I've got a Shino that is not living up to its potential.
