What they are, how to find them, and when to use which setting.

E-4, E- 4, or Err4 error code: What it means, when you might see it, and what to do about it.

Specifically this error code means that during a cooling segment in the programmed firing, one of the thermocouple temperatures is more than 50 degrees above the set point for longer than 1

Why does L&L's Easy-Fire e28T-3 3-phase kiln have a maximum cone of 10, while some other popular brands have a maximum cone of only 8?

On the Easy-Fire e28T-3 kiln (and School-Master SM28T-3) you will find the cone rating is limited by the KW of the kiln.
