I HAVE used a kiln sitter successfully for both Slumping and fusing.

It is true that they only control the Max temp, but they are very

And hope that the cone doesn't stick and over fire the kiln.
Just completed a glass cast 11KG which took 13 1/2 days kiln time.

I use a Perfect Fire III and I love it

13-1/2 days. That's getting serious. The 200" mirror for the scope on
Mt Polomar took 11 months to cool. Josh Simpson's 12" diameter
"worlds" take about 4 months.

What were the dimensions of your casting?
