It’s a must-have for any potter who wants consistent, predictable results. Why Use Pyrometric Cones? Kiln controllers measure temperature. But they don’t measure heat work. Heat work is the combination of time and temperature that actually matures your clay and glazes. Pyrometric cones bend at a specific point of heat work. This gives you a true picture of what’s happening inside your kiln. Cone 017 is commonly used for low-fire bisque firings. It helps confirm your kiln reached the correct heat work before you open the door. This step protects your greenware from underfiring or overfiring.

As the kiln heats up, watch the cone. It will begin to soften and bend. When the tip touches the base, your kiln has reached the target heat work for that cone. Many potters place three cones together. They use a cooler cone, a target cone, and a hotter cone. This is called a cone pack. It gives you a clearer picture of your firing range.
