Workbench modules

01 · core loop

Live ramp–hold bench

Tap or drag candling, climb, soak, and controlled-cool segments on a temperature–time chart. Snap cone 06 bisque, cone 6 ox glaze, or crystal slow-cool presets, edit °F/°C, and watch total duration update instantly.

02

Orton cone validator

Set target cone and kiln type (hobby electric, larger electric, gas notes). The bench flags under/over-fire risk, max ramp rates, and missing soaks against seeded cone equivalents before you commit.

03

Clay–glaze fit matrix

Choose earthenware, mid-fire stoneware, or porcelain plus a glaze class from studio staples. See crazing/shivering risk bands, recommended cones, and simple atmosphere cues—no storefront, just fit warnings.

04

Shelf-load planner

Drop shelves, stilts, and ware footprints on a kiln cross-section. Spacing and peep-hole rules stay enforced while height auto-sums; export a packing sketch beside the program card.

05

Fault clinic paths

Branch through pinholing, bloating, shivering, crazing, dull underfire, and lid-ring binding. Each path ends in schedule or packing adjustments you can apply straight back on the bench.

06

Program cards & night drills

Export a plain-language card with segment table, peak cone, hours, and load notes via share sheet. Run timed rebuild challenges, keep 20+ seed segments as local favorites, and arm optional segment-end timers—no cloud.

Why this desk exists

ConeFire Kiln Desk is the hands-on schedule workbench for studio potters, community-kiln nights, ceramics students, and home electric-kiln owners who are tired of scribbled ramp notes and mystery underfires. Pick ware stage and clay family, drag candling–body–glaze–cool segments onto a live temperature–time chart, validate against cone equivalents and kiln-type rate caps, then pack the load on a top-down cross-section.

A fault clinic ties pinholing, bloating, crazing, and lid-ring binding back to concrete schedule or packing fixes. Fully offline, free, and dense with seeded studio reference data—so every session is construction, diagnosis, and load planning, not a passive cone chart.

Build the curve. Stress the cone. Pack the shelf.

Then walk into kiln night with a program card you actually understand.
