Do you have additional air holes or vents in your kiln to improve combustion? What is your ramp rate when moving between the temperature stages?I see. Do you know if you see any debris in the machine after you do that? That is a very interesting way of dealing with the ash.
I added a way near its door. And its a ventilator right on top of its chimney.
It doesn't has any controllable ramp rate. I think it goes 1 c every 5 or 6 seconds. When I set it to increase from a degree to another in one hour it doesn't mean that it goes exactly in one hour. It takes more time. Thats not important.
With my experience in dealing with resins ENOUGH CURING, PROPER ENVESTMENT, GOOD BURNOUT CYCLE( VACUUMING and other ways for HELPING RESIN TO BURN BETTER INCLUDED)are the key points.
My machine has a brass filter in its vaccum chamber. It became dirty after a while. I can't say its only from ashes because there are other things that make it dirty. Ashes are not many. But they always stick in worst places. Its their proficiency
