POCKET STUDY · 309

Cluster Kiln

Fire eight ceramics in only five shared heat pulses. Tap an empty kiln slot to load the next clay. A needs exactly one pulse, B two, C three; tap a finished piece to unload it before another pulse ruins it. Every Fire heats all loaded pieces together. You have two insulating covers: select Cover, then tap one loaded slot to protect it from the next pulse. Loading, unloading and covering do not use fuel. Schedule mixed batches rather than firing one piece at a time.

Controls & scope
