A properly bent cone indicates that the kiln is functioning properly and accurately. The tip of the
cone will be level with the top of the cone’s base when fired properly. The diagrams below will give you an
idea of a properly fired, under fired and over fired cone. Some variation from a proper bend is expected
and can be compensated for with the cone offset adjustment for each particular cone number based on test
firings.
