Should I trust my cones or my thermocouple during a firing?

On today’s episode of For Flux Sake our hosts talk about the best way to measure progress in a firing. They also talk about Chat GPT and the potential for artificial intelligence in ceramics, as well as answer questions about quartz inversion and firing schedules. If you have a ceramic chemistry problem you’d like help with, send us a voice memo with your question to [email protected].
