ConeFire Kiln Desk
Build ramp–hold firings you can defend at the kiln room: cone-checked curves, clay–glaze fit cues, shelf packing sketches, and a fault clinic—offline on your iPhone before you hit Start.

Methodical heat
Not a shop inventory, glaze marketplace, or passive cone chart—every session is hands-on schedule construction, fault diagnosis, and load planning with dense seeded reference data.
Illustrative marketing figures; not App Store metrics.
Workbench tools
Six tightly coupled surfaces that keep your firing plan explainable from the first candling segment to the shelf sketch you pin by the controller.
01 · curve
Live ramp–hold bench
Add candling, climbs, soaks, and controlled cools on a temperature–time chart; snap cone 06 bisque or crystal slow-cool presets, edit °F/°C, and watch total duration update instantly.
02 · cones
Orton cone validator
Set target cone and kiln type; the bench flags under/over-fire risk, max ramp rates, and missing soaks against seeded cone equivalents before you commit the schedule.
03 · bodies
Clay–glaze fit matrix
Choose earthenware, mid-fire stoneware, or porcelain plus a glaze class—see crazing/shivering risk bands, recommended cones, and atmosphere notes from studio staples.
04 · load
Shelf-load planner
Drop shelves, stilts, and ware footprints on a kiln cross-section; enforce spacing and peep clearance, auto-sum load height, and export a packing sketch beside the program card.
05 · clinic
Fault clinic paths
Branch through pinholing, bloating, shivering, crazing, dull underfire, or lid-ring binding—each path ends in concrete ramp, soak, or packing fixes tied back to your draft.
06 · export
Program cards & drills
Export plain-language segment tables with peak cone and kiln caveats; run timed drills that score your rebuild against a reference curve and show the chart diff.
Built for the kiln room, not the cloud
ConeFire Kiln Desk is the interactive schedule workbench for studio potters, community-kiln members, ceramics students, and home electric-kiln owners who are tired of scribbled cone charts and last-minute guesswork. Every session is hands-on: pick ware stage and clay family, drag candling–body–glaze–cool segments on a live temperature–time bench, validate against Orton equivalents and kiln-type limits, then walk away with a plain-language program card plus a top-down shelf-load diagram. Stress-test thick bisque, snap a cone 6 oxidation preset, diagnose pinholing or shivering back into schedule tweaks, and export a print-ready card for the controller—no shop inventory, no glaze marketplace, no cloud account. Just dense seeded reference data and a firing plan you can explain.
Ember-lit focus · methodical heat · offline first
Who it serves
Studio potters, community-kiln members, ceramics students, and home electric-kiln owners who need defendable schedules—not marketplaces or inventory lists.
Session loop
Ware stage → clay family → ramp–hold curve → cone & kiln checks → shelf diagram → program card. Diagnose faults, then revise the same draft.
From cold kiln to Start button
A short ritual you can run on your phone between loading shelves and writing the log sheet.
1 · Stage & clayPick bisque or glaze and a clay family so fit cues load with the bench.
2 · Shape the curveStack candling, body, glaze, and cool segments; snap presets when useful.
3 · ValidateCone equivalents and kiln-type limits flag risk before you commit.
4 · Pack & printSketch the load, export the plain-language program card, hit Start with confidence.
