Cone Sitter Kiln at Stanley Hanley blog

Cone Sitter Kiln. Most of the older kilns come equipped with kiln sitters aka cone sitters. Prongs within the kiln sitter extend to support a pyrometric cone or rod. The sensing rod is a metal rod that connects the interior of the kiln to the exterior components of the kiln sitter. Cones, also called orton cones are small pieces of ceramic material that are designed to bend once. Kiln sitters are the control boxes on electric (or manual) pottery kilns that utilize pyrometric cones to dictate a kiln’s firing. The kiln sitter uses a small, pyrometric “sitter cone” that’s propped onto 2 “cone supports” inside the kiln with a “sensing rod” laying over the centre. The sitter cone (or witness cone) is a small pyrometric cone that is placed on top of the cone supports and used to prop up the sensing rod. These are usually a combination of timer switches and a set of prongs. A kiln sitter measures the heatwork that’s going on in a kiln using a pyrometric cone. Manual kilns have switches for turning up the heat and they have a nifty contraption called a kiln sitter that uses a melting, bending pyrometric cone to.
