I'll have to try that. <BR/>As you say, having enough pots the right size can be a bit of a challenge for a non production potter! <BR/><BR/>My problem firstly, was a chimney too short which resulted in a cold bottom. Then we made two changes(raising the chimney and opening up and lowering the bag wall). In hind sight we should have only made one change. <BR/><BR/>Next firing I'll adjust the bag wall as shown in John's picture and see how that works and at least keep the first 3 shelf course at the 7", which I do now, but make sure they're all the same.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the feedback.June Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03329664368684428965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638497050839732163.post-86532119802708677862008-12-14T16:41:00.000-05:002008-12-14T16:41:00.000-05:00Even stacking of the 3 shelf stacks really helps. ...Even stacking of the 3 shelf stacks really helps. This means literally matching up with the same size posts on each bottom shelf, working all the way up. I start with a 7" post all across the bottom three shelves. It's hard to keep it symmetrical when you don't have enough sizes of things, or you have a lot of small bowl rows. Luckily the firing was very even this time, despite all the rows of bowls for empty bowls.Joy Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127174336658302937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638497050839732163.post-29551301640429509232008-12-14T16:40:00.000-05:002008-12-14T16:40:00.000-05:00Even stacking of the 3 shelf stacks really helps. ...Even stacking of the 3 shelf stacks really helps.
